| Placing | Horse No |
Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 7 | GIVE WELL (CJ109) | Y T Cheng | -- | 3-wide with cover in midfield and 4Ls behind at halfway, closer and going well turning in, led 200 M out and never going to be headed thereafter, tidily. |
| 2 | 2 | MAJESTIC HEART (CH319) | B Prebble | B-/V1 | Worst to begin, 13th about 8Ls off early pace, 5Ls down and into clear running at 400 M, stayed on fairly well, never likely to catch winner. |
| 3 | 11 | SUPREME COMMANDER (CJ112) | D Whyte | -- | Went back early on, worse than midfield 3-wide with cover at the 400 M when 4Ls down, stayed on fairly well for a place. (Questioned.) |
| 4 | 9 | EVER KING (CE147) | D Beadman | V/TT | Box-seated in 4th on fence at 1400 M and 2Ls down in 4th turning for home, one-paced on the run-in. |
| 5 | 13 | KING OF SHAVER (CH041) | M L Yeung | B | Disputed early pace at 1400 M and left in front before entrance to home straight, headed at the 200 M and nothing more to offer late on. |
| 6 | 1 | FANTASTIC DANCER (CJ001) | B Doyle | V1 | Quietly ridden, 8Ls last at 1200 M, 7Ls down turning for home and made some fair late ground through plodders in the stretch. |
| 7 | 8 | SUPREME DRAGON (CH161) | E Saint-Martin | B | 4-back on rails about 5Ls off speed from 1000 M to home straight, behind horses for final 400 M, didn't appear to be going well enough in any case. (Tactic questioned.) |
| 8 | 5 | PERFECT MATCH (CJ072) | K L Chui | B | Midfield about 4Ls adrift with cover at 1000 M and same turning for home, always outpaced. |
| 9 | 3 | EXPEDITIOUS (CE136) | H W Lai | XB | 'One-out-one-back' in 3rd at 1400 M, going well when 2Ls back turning for home, didn't find much off the bridle and swamped final 150 M. |
| 10 | 12 | HOLIGAN (CH003) | K T Yeung | XB-/B2 | Behind midfield about 4Ls off speed at 1200 M and one from rear turning in, didn't have much room and not fully tested even if he was held anyway. |
| 11 | 14 | LITTLE BIG BOY (CJ012) | M Du Plessis | TT | 4-wide without cover throughout, around midfield and 4Ls from the speed until straightening, extra work exacted its toll in closing stages. |
| 12 | 4 | LIVERBIRD (CE055) | C W Wong | B | 3-back on fence about 4Ls down in 6th at 1200 M, never likely to improve this position in the final 600 M. |
| 13 | 6 | VILLAGE KID (CK018) | G Mosse | TT | Somehow ended up 3-wide no cover from gate 3 at 1000 M, close-up in 2nd or 3rd from 800 M to home turn, weakened, later diagnosed a "roarer". (Tactic questioned.) |
| 14 | 10 | GENIUS MASTER (CJ117) | S K Sit | B/SR | Hard pressed to dispute early running but weakened out of prominent role before final bend and dropped out tamely, unacceptably bad effort. |
