Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 8 | BARRACUDA (CB320) | G Mosse | -- | Began very well. Pushed hard early to set pace on rail. Travelled comfortably throughout and always had at least 1L advantage. Shot over 2Ls clear final 200 M, stayed on strongly for an uncontested victory. |
| 2 | 5 | TELECOM TYCOON (CC039) | G Schofield | B/TT | Bounced out well. Settled 1 off midfield. 3Ls back in 6th at 600 M. Same margin turning in. Turned home 4 wide on bridle in 4th. Battled hard final 200 M. Chased gamely but never caught up. |
| 3 | 6 | BEST CHOICE (CE038) | S Dye | B | Average to jump. Settled just worse than midfield. Got its head up when steadied at 1400 M. 2 wide 5Ls away at 800 M. Took closer order on straightening. Quickened nicely closing stages and captured 3rd at line. |
| 4 | 1 | CYPRESS HILL (CE061) | C W Wong | -- | Away well. Allowed to roll forward to be 1L away outside leader. No change till straight. Fought hard to stay on. Outpaced by top pair inside final 200 M. Couldn't find extra gear and lost 3rd at the line. |
| 5 | 10 | SPECTACULAR HIT (CC194) | H W Lai | -- | Broke well. Kept on fence slightly behind midfield. Around 5Ls back at 800 M. Similar order after straightening. Made good ground final 300 M to be nearest at finish. Produced moderate late impression but never troubled principals. |
| 6 | 3 | PACIFIC ALLIANCE (CC230) | W C Marwing | B/H/TT | Bounded at start. Lost ground and taken across behind runners. 5 to 6Ls off speed on rail midway. Similar turning straight in 3rd last. Picked up late and closed race nicely on the outside. Simply set too big a task. |
| 7 | 2 | FIREWHEEL (CD344) | D Whyte | TT | Average to begin from mid draw. Grabbed fence and settled around midfield. 3Ls back in 5th taking final bend. Saved ground on fence turning in. Kept giving in straight but lacked turn of foot to be a factor. |
| 7 | 4 | SNIPER (CD110) | B Prebble | B | Began awkwardly. Never far off. 2 wide 2Ls behind lead at 800 M with cover. 3rd after straightening. Hard ridden to pick up but unable to sustain effort final 200 M. Closed race fairly. |
| 9 | 11 | ESPOIR D'OR (CE218) | K L Chui | B | Awkward to begin. Kept in rearward section on rail. Eased to 1 off when difficult to settle on back straight. About 6Ls back at 800 M. Similar turning straight in 2nd last. Lacked needed response and stayed on only one-paced to line. |
| 10 | 9 | MONZA KING (BV280) | R Fradd | B | Began with rest. Settled in rear. Always ran at least 1 off the fence. Over 7Ls behind speed halfway. Pressured in 3 wide spot on bend. Swung widest on straightening in tail. Failed to kick when asked. |
| 11 | 7 | FIGHT BACK (CE058) | O Doleuze | B/TT | Among the best to start. Fast into stride, took up position behind leader. Had easy trip throughout and always within 2Ls from pace on fence. Nothing left upon straightening. Dropped out rapidly. (Mucopus.) |
