Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 7 | SPECIAL DRAGON (CH325) | K L Chui | TT | Crossed from wide gate to lead on fence by 1L at 1100 M, same margin clear off final bend and at 200 M, always hanging on. |
| 2 | 2 | JAMESINA (CH290) | C Soumillon | CP1/TT | Twice checked within first 400 M, 7Ls last at halfway and still well back on straightening, ran on strongly late but post came too soon. |
| 3 | 11 | CRUSH ON YOU (CH065) | B Prebble | B | 4-back on fence about 6Ls from pace at 1000 M, marginally closer turning in, ran on well to comfortably secure a place. |
| 4 | 5 | ROMANTIC GREEN (CG123) | O Doleuze | TT | Close up but left 3-wide no cover from the 1000 M, 2Ls back in 3rd making final turn, one-paced final 200 M and only just held 4th. |
| 5 | 1 | BOLD CHAMPION (CG127) | G Mosse | B/TT- | Wide early but raced outside winner 1L back in 2nd from 1000 M to final turn, all out when a neck 2nd at 300 M, one-paced final 200 M. |
| 6 | 4 | FOREST FOUNTAIN (CJ047) | D Whyte | TT | Slowly away, 4Ls back in 6th at 1000 M, over-raced in places, didn't have much room at top of home straight but soon outpaced in any case. |
| 7 | 10 | SOUND OF SILENCE (CD136) | Z Purton | -- | Bumped at start, 2Ls back in 4th with cover at 1000 M, still in front rank turning for home, weakened steadily. |
| 8 | 14 | CHINSOLA (CD328) | H W Lai | -- | Trapped 4 and 5-wide without cover until home turn when towards rear and at least 5Ls from the speed, no impression. |
| 9 | 6 | AMAZING FORTUNE (CH235) | M Nunes | -- | No early speed, towards rear about 6Ls from the pace early on, about 5Ls back swinging for home, never landed a blow. |
| 10 | 12 | CELESTIAL WONDER (CG046) | D Beadman | XB/TT | Keen early, close-up in 3rd or 4th about 2Ls back through to final turn, didn't find much room 300 M out, held late anyway. |
| 11 | 3 | MY FAITH (CH054) | G Boss | B | Crowded at start, covered up in mid-division about 5Ls from the front at 1000 M, pressured to keep up at the 600 M, posed no sort of threat. |
| 12 | 13 | BULB TREASURE (CH048) | W M Lai | -- | Awkward start, 3-back on fence 3Ls down in 5th at 1000 M, over-raced at halfway, no clear passage at top of stretch, always chasing others. |
| 13 | 8 | DECENT FELLOW (CH021) | F Coetzee | -- | Keen in initial stages, in rear and ridden along when 8Ls down at halfway, no late headway down the centre, appears less than enthusiastic. |
| 14 | 9 | MYTHIC STEED (CD208) | P H Lo | B/H | Trapped 4-wide no cover at 1000 M despite exiting gate 6, wide and midfield until home turn, faded out before the 200 M. |
