Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 2 | PALAIS D'OR (CH185) | Z Purton | TT | Awkward break, midfield with cover about 3Ls back at halfway, checked and held up at top of straight, did very well to lead inside final strides. |
| 2 | 13 | AMAZING JOURNEY (CH281) | D Whyte | B/TT | Keen early on, 4Ls back in 9th in middle stages, darted to the lead 300 M out and only ground down by the winner inside final strides. |
| 3 | 12 | SUPER (CD036) | M Du Plessis | SR/XB | About 5Ls back in 11th down back straight, a little closer swinging for home, stayed on well for a place without matching pace of quinella pair. |
| 4 | 14 | GALLANT MASTER (CJ255) | C K Tong | -- | Slowest away, midfield about 3Ls or 4Ls from the speed through to home straight, stayed on okay to clearly take 4th. |
| 5 | 9 | VILLAGE KID (CK018) | B Prebble | TT- | One from rear at halfway about 6Ls from speed, midfield about 3Ls down turning for home, had his chance to place but his run soon peaked. |
| 6 | 5 | DASH (CG236) | C W Wong | B | Disputed early pace out 2-wide then box-seated in middle stages and ridden along to remain within 2Ls of the pace into final quarter, steadily faded out. |
| 7 | 11 | VICTORY MASCOT (CJ243) | W C Marwing | B-/TT | Slowly away and one from rear about 6Ls off pace at 1200 M, 4Ls back in same position off last bend, plodded on past a few stragglers to finish. |
| 8 | 6 | ON SHAN BRAVE (CH230) | K T Yeung | SR/V | 3-wide with cover in midfield about 3Ls off pace at halfway, 1L down in 3rd making last bend but yielded ground quickly. |
| 9 | 3 | WADADELIGHT (CC340) | W M Lai | B | Worse than midfield down back straight, left 4-wide no cover on circle and 5-wide about 2Ls off pace into home straight, very weak final 200 M. |
| 10 | 7 | BEST NOODLE (CJ278) | E Saint-Martin | TT | Disputed early pace on fence, 1L clear off last bend but headed 300 M out and dropped out very rapidly. (Questioned for disappointing performance.) |
| 11 | 1 | FOREVER FORTUNE (CG145) | K C Leung | B2 | 3-wide no cover early disputing early pace, still close-up 1L back in 2nd off last bend, found nothing under pressure. |
| 12 | 10 | MIGHTY MAN (CJ091) | H W Lai | B/TT | 3-back on the fence at the 1200 M, still reasonably close-up entering home straight but quickly faded in final quarter. (Bled.) |
| 13 | 8 | GO STITCH (CK062) | O Doleuze | -- | 8Ls back in rear at 1200 M, very wide (6-wide) and still last off last turn, emptied out and eased down, unacceptable performance. |
| 14 | 4 | ESPACE D'OR (CJ189) | J Victoire | -- | Unacceptable performance, raced 3-wide no cover on pace at first, struggling to remain in touch off last bend and surrendered tamely, soon eased down. |
