| 1 | 6 | EVER KING (CE147) | D Beadman | V/TT | Travelled nicely on fence about 7Ls back in 8th at 1400 M, 4Ls down in 6th and still going well off final turn, picked up nicely to lead 150 M out, all out to hang on. |
| 2 | 4 | RED WINE HONEY (CE287) | S K Sit | B | In 12th place about 9Ls behind at halfway, ridden along to take closer order from 600 M and 6-wide turning for home, responded well down centre of track and only just failed. |
| 3 | 8 | TRAVEL LEADER (CD226) | A Delpech | -- | Awkward break, 4Ls back in 4th on fence at the 1400 M and much the same taking home bend, kept on without quickening for 3rd. |
| 4 | 13 | FANTASTIC WIN (CB188) | P H Lo | B | 12Ls off pace in rear early when 4-wide no cover, still last at 800 M and 400 M when 8Ls down, stayed on well late to take 4th, nearest at the finish. |
| 5 | 3 | LUCKY MONEY STAR (CH273) | Y T Cheng | SR/TT1 | Raced in 2nd about 3Ls off pace early on, 3Ls back in 3rd off final bend when under pressure, could only plod on at home at the one pace. |
| 6 | 7 | SUPER SURPRISE (CH210) | F Coetzee | B | Awkward break, 9Ls back in 10th on fence when 1300 M out, still with 7Ls to redress on the leader making final turn, stayed on fairly well, jockey lost whip 50 M out, nearest at finish. |
| 7 | 5 | BROWN BEAUTY (CC029) | O Doleuze | CP | 7Ls off pace with cover in midfield at the 1400 M, about 5Ls or 6Ls down at home straight entrance, never looked like breaking from the pack. |
| 8 | 12 | BARRACUDA (CB320) | H W Lai | -- | Took very strong riding to lead 1500 M out, briefly 3Ls clear at 1200 M and 2Ls to the good off final turn, fizzled out once headed about 150 M out. |
| 9 | 9 | G-ONE LEADING (CE306) | M Nunes | -- | 2-wide and 5Ls back in 5th at 1400 M, about 4Ls down in mid-division taking final bend while 3-wide and ridden along always outpaced. |
| 10 | 11 | PACIFIC ALLIANCE (CC230) | Z Purton | B/H/TT | 3-wide with cover when 8Ls behind speed in 9th at 1400 M, 5-wide turning for home when 6Ls off pace, made no impact. |
| 11 | 10 | CHINSOLA (CD328) | K T Yeung | B | Keen early, 2-wide and 3Ls back in 3rd at 1400 M, advanced into 2nd at the 1000 M, 2Ls back in 2nd taking final bend but found nothing once off the bridle. |
| 12 | 14 | SPRING SMILES (CG269) | W M Lai | B | 12Ls last on fence through early stages, 7Ls down turning for home, looked held when disappointed for running about 150 M out, eased late. |
| 13 | 1 | CHAMPION PIONEER (CG305) | S Dye | BO | 3-wide no cover throughout, 6Ls back in 6th at 1400 M, 4Ls down at 800 M but lost ground on the circle and faded out from top of home straight. (Mucus.) |
| 14 | 2 | LAZY BUDDIES (CC208) | G Mosse | B | Another poor effort: 10Ls back in 11th at 1200 M, still well back when 8Ls back 7-wide (widest of all) in 13th into home straight, passed no rival and eased late. |
