| 1 | 9 | MONTY (CH164) | Z Purton | -- | Settled midfield on the fence. Got all the breaks along the paint from the 700 M and improved to be on the back of the speed rounding the circle. Forged ahead at the 400 M, held margin to line. |
| 2 | 1 | FANTASTIC TIME (CH220) | B Prebble | SR/V | Travelled just off midfield 2-wide with cover. Peeled out into a 3-wide line after the 600 M, chased hard in the run to the post to come up short of the prize. |
| 3 | 7 | MULTI-WIN SPIRIT (CG137) | O Doleuze | XB/TT | From a wide gate settled in about 3rd last position along the fence. Closed off well in the final stages. |
| 4 | 14 | WONDER KID (CH233) | M Du Plessis | P/TT | Box seated behind the leader on the fence. For a considerable distance after the 400 M was held up. Battled on to the line. |
| 5 | 3 | REAL PLEASURE (CJ021) | M L Yeung | -- | Travelled 1 off the fence in a midfield position. Worked to the line dourly. |
| 6 | 2 | ACCELERATOR (CG179) | G Mosse | CP/XB/TT | Travelled towards the tail of the field, 1 off with cover. Over the final 350 M was not able to obtain clear running and because of this was not tested. |
| 7 | 13 | SO NICE (CG110) | H W Lai | CP/H | On jumping was taken back and settled in last position. Made up some late headway down the outside in the straight. |
| 8 | 6 | LITTLE BIG BOY (CJ012) | C Soumillon | TT | Settled with the back makers, 2 deep with cover. Struggled in the final stretch. |
| 9 | 4 | HOT SUN (CJ005) | C K Tong | -- | Went forward and led, difficult to settle in middle stages. |
| 10 | 11 | MAXIMUM CHARM (CJ056) | W C Marwing | B/SR | As the start was affected, lunged forward and broke open the front gate of its stall losing ground. Made good yards in the early stages to travel behind midfield, paddled thereafter. |
| 11 | 5 | REDHILL COMMANDER (CH078) | K T Yeung | B1/TT | Travelled 3 back, 1 off with cover. Wasn't in the hunt over the final furlong. |
| 12 | 8 | ME THE BEST (CJ158) | Y T Cheng | B- | Settled well back in the event 2-wide with cover and never looked likely to run on. |
| 13 | 12 | AIPODER IMAGE (CJ031) | M W Leung | V | Ridden hard for most of the early stages before settling 1 out 1 back. Hung out in the middle stages and gave in quickly after turning for home. |
| 14 | 10 | PERFECT ATHLETE (CG276) | C W Wong | -- | Worked hard from a wide gate to cross and vie for the lead near the 800 M. Faded quickly in the straight. Finished tailed out. To Trial. |
