Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 12 | SOCRATES (CD336) | O Doleuze | V | Always driven along 3-wide no cover when prominent 2Ls to 3Ls off pace in 3rd or 4th from 1200 M to 600 M, a neck down at home turn, narrow lead at 200 M, stayed on gamely. |
| 2 | 4 | ROYAL FALCON (CE091) | E Saint-Martin | TT | Had the run of the race in 3rd or 4th about 2Ls off pace on fence until turning for home, same margin down in 4th at 200 M, found a little extra past tired tiring rivals to take 2nd close home. |
| 3 | 11 | ARROGANCE (CA177) | Y T Cheng | B | Led by 1L on fence from 1200 M to 600 M, only a neck clear into homestretch, headed at 200 M, one-paced and lost 2nd place inside final 50 M. |
| 4 | 7 | VICTORY TREASURE (CE031) | D Whyte | -- | Always on pace, 2-wide and 1L down in 2nd at 1200 M, 1L down in 3rd on straightening and still every chance at 200 M when a neck off the lead, couldn't sustain effort and lost a place late on. |
| 5 | 14 | TEMMOKU (BV108) | M W Leung | CP | Towards rear about 6Ls or 7Ls off the speed until turning for home, ran on fairly well down centre of track to be nearest at the finish but never likely to figure in the money. |
| 6 | 9 | SHANGHAI KING (CC188) | B Prebble | CP/TT | 6Ls behind in 8th on fence at 1200 M, 5Ls down in 6th into home straight, no extra gears and always well held. (Blood and mucus in trachea.) |
| 7 | 1 | MAGIC TOUCH (CB394) | R Fradd | P | 11Ls last at 1200 M, 8Ls behind in 13th at home turn when 4-wide, made some fair late ground out widest of all but much too late. |
| 8 | 13 | VICTORY TURBO (CD320) | C Brown | -- | On fence about 4Ls off speed in 5th or 6th from 1300 M to home turn when hard ridden to pick up, finished off only evenly. |
| 9 | 2 | NASA PEARL (CC068) | O Chavez | B | 2-wide and 5Ls down in 7th at 1300 M, hard pressed to hang onto this position entering home straight, laboured for nought. |
| 10 | 10 | ELEPHANT DANCE (CA391) | K S Yu | -- | Always 4-wide no cover, 8Ls off pace in 11th at 1200 M, tended to hang out on turns, still well behind on straightening, never a danger. |
| 11 | 5 | MEATH (CE143) | C Munce | P1 | Slow break, 8Ls back on fence in 10th at 1200 M, under pressure at 600 M to take closer order, didn't succeed. |
| 12 | 3 | GREEN IN BLUE (CD117) | S Dye | CP-/PC1 | 7Ls back in 9th when 2-wide at 1200 M, much the same on straightening, posed no kind of threat. |
| 13 | 6 | GREAT LEADER (CE032) | F Coetzee | B/TT | 2-wide and 3Ls behind pace in 5th at 1200 M, struggling to lie up on circle and 6Ls down in 7th off home turn, continued to lose ground. |
| 14 | 8 | FAT CHANCE (CC160) | H W Lai | P | Slow away, always in rear at least 8Ls off pace, never a factor. (Lame.) |
