Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 6 | SURE JOY (CE299) | C W Wong | B/XB/TT | Always close-up within 2Ls or so of the speed around 5th, going well off final turn and led 300 M out, forged clear. |
| 2 | 11 | STEEL NERVES (CG320) | G Mosse | B | No early speed, 8Ls off pace towards rear at 1000 M, 7Ls down in 12th off final turn, ran on well late to nick 2nd on the line. |
| 3 | 4 | CENTURY SUPER STAR (CE070) | O Doleuze | BO | Moved inside from wider gate, over 4Ls back in midfield at 800 M and at home turn, stayed on fairly in stretch for a place, tipped out of 2nd on the line. |
| 4 | 13 | PERFECT TIME (CG249) | D Nikolic | CP | Around midfield about 3Ls off pace until home turn, given every chance to place but missed out inside final 50 M. |
| 5 | 14 | SPLENDID SAILS (CG077) | C K Tong | -- | 3-back along the inner about 3Ls behind the lead in midfield until home turn, had every chance to figure in the money but too one-paced final 200 M. |
| 6 | 1 | DILIGENT (CC285) | D Whyte | CP | Messy start, with cover but worse than midfield at least 5Ls from the front through to home turn, made some minor late ground without really threatening a place. |
| 7 | 10 | BEAUTIFUL CHOICE (CH130) | M W Leung | -- | Worked hard early 3-wide no cover when 1L off pace at 1000 M, a neck down in 2nd out 2-wide from 800 M to home turn, could only stay on at the same tempo. |
| 8 | 7 | KINGSTON MARBLE (CE244) | W M Lai | B | Box-seat run on fence 2Ls off speed in 4th from 1000 M to home turn, given every hope but was just too one-paced. |
| 9 | 3 | KEEN FLYER (CB330) | K T Yeung | TT | Best away, led by 1L at 900 M on fence, headed shortly after straightening and gave ground, very weak late. |
| 10 | 9 | SUPER POWER (CH117) | F Coetzee | -- | Slowest away, on fence about 6Ls back in 10th at the 800 M, couldn't draw any nearer. |
| 11 | 8 | PRIME TARGET (CH242) | S Dye | B- | Raced greenly throughout, 3-wide with cover and worse than midfield about 5Ls off pace at 700 M, struggling entering home straight, gave ground. |
| 12 | 2 | CALIFORNIA HEART (CE078) | K L Chui | B/XB/TT | Never going well, failed to muster any early dash, 10Ls behind in rear and ridden along 700 M out, very tame performance. |
| 13 | 12 | GOLD GEM (CG197) | Y T Cheng | B-/H1 | Always covering extra ground out wide, 3Ls back out 3-wide no cover at 800 M, wider on the circle, wilted from top of homestretch. |
