1 | 3 | FAT CHOY FOREVER (CD111) | C W Wong | -- | Hard ridden to take the rail and lead by 2Ls, clocked disadvantageous fast early sectionals without any other pressure, never had challenger and scored a stylish victory. |
2 | 1 | SUMMERVILLE POWER (CD398) | K T Yeung | CP | Pushed to secure the box seat from the rail-draw, not suited by the fast early tempo, finished the race off strongly in straight and ran 2nd. |
3 | 4 | WADADELIGHT (CC340) | O Doleuze | B | Eased at start to get across closer to the rail behind the field, then hard ridden to regain a midfield spot, 3-1/2Ls off the leader, benefited by the fast pace, ran on well to the line to secure placing. |
4 | 12 | THREE CLUBS (CG149) | D Beadman | -- | Eased to sit in midfield, 6Ls off the leader along the fence, helped by the fast pace, progressed steadily 600 M, but made no more ground in last quarter. |
5 | 9 | MAGIC TEMPLE (CC368) | D Whyte | PC/TT | Eased at start to cross to the rails at rear, 9Ls behind the leader, favoured by the fast pace, made some ground 400 M without threatening placegetters. |
6 | 11 | KING HESPERUS (CE151) | M Nunes | B/TT | Pushed to obtain a position better than midfield, 4Ls off the leader 2-wide, benefited by the fast pace, however soon emptied 500 M. |
7 | 2 | LIAOBUQI (CE018) | C K Tong | PC1/H/TT | Hard ridden early but failed to muster speed, only be able to take a midfield spot, 6Ls off the leader 2 to 3-wide, helped by the fast tempo, but made no ground in straight. |

9 | 5 | SOLAR POWER (CE047) | Z Purton | P1/TT | Eased back, 7-1/2Ls off the leader, helped by the fast pace but trapped 3 to 5-wide and lost ground, no progress in final stages. |
10 | 6 | COURAGEOUSHEART (CD202) | E Saint-Martin | B/TT | At rear, never travelled on the bridle, was carried out to 7-wide at 1st bend and on straightening, lost too much ground, never a factor. |
11 | 7 | TREASURABLE (CH017) | K L Chui | -- | Eased to sit just off the leader 2 to 3-wide, harmed by the fast early sectionals, soon out of fuel 400 M. (See Racing Incidents.) |
