Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 3 | FOREST FOUNTAIN (CJ047) | B Prebble | TT- | 3-back on fence about 4Ls down in midfield until the 600 M, quickened up nicely off last turn to lead 250 M out, driven out. |
| 2 | 1 | SPECIAL DRAGON (CH325) | K L Chui | TT | Led by 1L on fence at 1000 M and set a sedate pace, still going well turning in but headed by winner 250 M out, couldn't respond. |
| 3 | 7 | SPIRIT OF LO PAN (CH140) | C Soumillon | B | Midfield but left 3-wide no cover at 1000 M when 4Ls off pace, 4-wide on straightening, kept on pretty well for a place despite tough trip. |
| 4 | 11 | AMAZING VENTURE (CJ039) | D Beadman | -- | Keen when 4-back on fence in midfield about 4Ls from speed until straightening, 1L down vying for 3rd at 200 M, fell out of the money late. |
| 5 | 5 | KEEN SPIRIT (CJ022) | K T Yeung | TT1 | 3Ls back in 4th out 2-wide at 1000 M, close up through to homestretch, battling for a minor placing when hindered 200 M out, faded final 100 M. |
| 6 | 2 | JOLLY WONGCHOY (CH076) | G Mosse | CP | 5-back on fence towards rear at least 6Ls from the heat, marginally closer taking last turn but never on terms with principals. |
| 7 | 12 | EXPEDITIOUS (CE136) | F Coetzee | XB | Keen 2-wide in midfield about 4Ls back early on, similarly placed at last turn, checked when tight for room at 200 M, no further impact. |
| 8 | 9 | JOYFUL WORLD (CC200) | Y T Cheng | TT | Trapped wide through initial stages, 1L back out 2-wide in 2nd from 1000 M until straightening for home, swamped insider final 200 M. |
| 9 | 8 | AMAZING FORTUNE (CH235) | M Nunes | -- | Went back from widest gate and 9Ls last at 1200 M, a little closer but still at the tail 400 M out, made some minor late ground. |
| 10 | 6 | KING'S COURT (CH310) | E Saint-Martin | -- | Box-seated in 3rd about 2Ls off pace at 1200 M and still there turning in, found disappointingly little given the cushy trip and slow tempo. |
| 11 | 4 | BELIEVE ME (CJ004) | O Doleuze | -- | Mostly 3-wide but with cover about 5Ls back at halfway, under pressure out 4-deep trying to draw closer off last turn, didn't succeed. |
| 12 | 10 | TRIUMPHANT ECHO (CJ006) | D Whyte | -- | 6Ls behind with cover in 10th at 1000 M, out deep and hard pressed to improve making last turn, offered very little. |
| 13 | 14 | KA KA SMART (CG042) | C K Tong | B/H | Slow away and further back than usual, in 12th out 2-wide, not helped by slow pace, never got into it. |
| 14 | 13 | COME HO CHOI (CE082) | E Wilson | B | One from rear about 9Ls off early pace, slow tempo worked against him and never on terms. |
