Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 2 | BAAZIGAR (CG171) | F Coetzee | -- | 7Ls behind steady tempo in 10th early on, well back and without room off final bend, let down strongly to lead in final strides, highly creditable effort. |
| 2 | 10 | CONNOISSEUR'S LOVE (CD234) | C W Wong | B | Soon led unchallenged on fence, skipped 5Ls clear turning for home, kicked on but treading water final 100 M, grabbed just before the wire. |
| 3 | 1 | BEST POWER (CG006) | B Prebble | B-/TT | 6Ls adrift in 9th at 1000 M and worse off last bend, stayed on next best of the chasing pack despite hanging in at 300 M, solid effort overall. |
| 4 | 7 | SUNNY SMILES (CJ073) | W C Marwing | B | 5-wide no cover early on, midfield with and without cover until home straight when outpaced, plugged on past spent rivals inside final 150 M. |
| 5 | 3 | KOWLOON FIT (CE247) | D Whyte | -- | Keen early, tucked away in midfield out 2-wide until home straight, launched a brief challenge but run died final 100 M and never likely to figure. |
| 6 | 5 | ON SHAN BRAVE (CH230) | E Saint-Martin | SR/V | Soon slotted into the box-seat position on fence, 2nd at top of the home straight but he very much lacked a change of rear when required. |
| 7 | 8 | ROYAL PORTRAIT (CJ092) | H W Lai | -- | Rearward 7Ls off pace when 3 and 4-wide but with cover, plenty to do off home turn out 4-wide, made no real impact down centre of homestretch. |
| 8 | 9 | EVER KING (CE147) | D Beadman | V/TT | About 9Ls last early on, 5-wide (widest) and still a long way behind the leader spinning for home, had little chance with the way the race was run. |
| 9 | 12 | PURE ALPHA (CH008) | K C Leung | CP/XB | 3-back on fence within striking range early on, over-raced at halfway, lacked the dash to quicken through a gap on the rails from top of stretch. |
| 10 | 11 | DRAGON BOY (CJ204) | M Du Plessis | -- | Raced prominently in 3rd or 4th early, 2-wide and 4Ls back in 6th at 600 M, faded out steadily inside final two furlongs. |
| 11 | 4 | LUCKY MONEY STAR (CH273) | Y T Cheng | -- | Very wide for much of back straight before easing into 2-wide position from 800 M, over 5Ls back in 3rd off last bend but soon emptied out. |
| 12 | 6 | WONG'S SUCCESS (CE107) | O Doleuze | B | Darted inside from widest gate to 4-back the rails position, never likely to take a hand from there given the sectionals up front. |
| 13 | 13 | CLASSIC KING (CD256) | W M Lai | B/TT | Worse than midfield initially, left 3-wide without cover from the 700 M and petered once straightened for the line, eased down late. |
| 14 | 14 | FORTUNE DRAGON (CH324) | M L Yeung | B/TT | Unacceptable display, slow out and one from rear, struggling 700 M out and became further detached in home straight. |
