Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 12 | SABRE AND GOLD (CE179) | C W Wong | -- | Soft passage 2Ls back in 3rd on rails until the home straight, led about 150 M out, just hung on. |
| 2 | 3 | CHAMPION LAD (CH042) | D Whyte | XB/TT | 3-back on fence 4Ls back in 6th from 1100 M until straight when going well, 1L down in 3rd and dangerous at 200 M, post came too soon. |
| 3 | 7 | THUNDER VALLEY (CG074) | M Du Plessis | CP | Soon led on the rails, 1L clear until the home straight, headed 150 M out and one-paced closing stages, may not have fully stayed the trip. |
| 4 | 4 | AMAZING CHOICE (CG163) | O Doleuze | B | 4-back on rails about 6Ls behind from 1200 M to final turn, ran on well on inside in the straight without quite reaching the front three. |
| 5 | 10 | DECAGONAL (CH244) | W M Lai | B/TT | 10th about 7Ls behind at 100 M, still with plenty ground to make up on straightening, stayed on fairly well, never nearer. |
| 6 | 9 | VINTAGE GOLD (CG094) | M Nunes | B | 2-wide and 5Ls back in midfield until final bend, couldn't quicken. |
| 7 | 6 | SUDDEN SPLENDOR (CE251) | M W Leung | B/TT2 | 2-wide and about 3Ls back in 5th or so at 1200 M, 4-wide and midfield off last turn, very one-paced. |
| 8 | 11 | DRAGON STRIDE (CC370) | H W Lai | -- | Towards rear about 8Ls down through initial stages, no closer off home turn, never on terms. (Tactic questioned.) |
| 9 | 2 | COSMO SUCCESSOR (CH118) | K L Chui | TT | 2-wide and 1L back in 2nd at 1100 M, lost this position circling for home, dropped out like a non-stayer. |
| 10 | 8 | CHINA SPORTFIELD (CG032) | Y T Cheng | BO-/B2 | Never in touch, 8Ls last 1200 M out and still rear turning for home, tepid finish. (Lame.) |
| 11 | 5 | MY FAITH (CH054) | C K Tong | B | In 4th at 1200 M but 3-wide no cover despite gate 5, 1L back in 2nd but toiling off the last bend, gave way quickly. |
| 12 | 1 | UNIQUE SPEED (CG134) | B Prebble | V | Never going well, worse than midfield and keen early, left 3-wide no cover from the 800 M, hard ridden 500 M out, disappointing performance. |
