Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 2 | INSPIRATION (CG111) | G Mosse | XB/TT | Proved no fluke about his HK Sprint victory. Always going easy behind leader on the stands' rail, picked up well inside 400 M and finished the race with a real flourish. In charge near 100 M. |
| 2 | 7 | YELLOW DIAMOND (CD246) | C K Tong | B | Travelled prominently in the group towards the centre of track, responded well under pressure near 350 M, ran on strongly but was just out-sprinted by the winner. Emerged from this race with plenty of credit. |
| 3 | 3 | ENTHUSED (CH303) | D Whyte | -- | One of the very few horses that raced towards the inside. Up with the pace from the start, he was sent on near 300 M and kept giving to line. Hung out over the final 250 M. |
| 4 | 1 | SACRED KINGDOM (CG268) | Y T Cheng | TT | First appearance after a long break. Away well enough, tracked leader on the inside, gradually picked up passing 350 M, ran on well but was carried out inside 100 M, checked close home. |
| 5 | 8 | KILDARE (CJ198) | W C Marwing | SR | Reasonable jump, in mid-division toward the centre of track but never far off from the pace, brought with a challenge inside 400 M, quickened ok but unable to find extra inside 200 M when the race got serious. |
| 6 | 6 | RIVER JORDAN (CG194) | J Winks | TT | Lacked early speed, settled 1-off the stands' rail and 2 back, moved into clear inside 500 M, raced tight for some distance near 200 M, finished off the race reasonably over a trip that may be a shade too short. |
| 7 | 4 | SUNNY POWER (CG203) | O Doleuze | CP/H | Checked shortly after start, opted to race in the small group towards the inside rail 2 back from leader, pushed inside 350 M but found less than expected under pressure. Never threatened. |
| 8 | 10 | SKYVIEW BAR (CG024) | J Victoire | CP-/B1 | Awkwardly away, crossed to race towards stands' rail and was handily placed in a prime position, brought with a run near 350 M but was unable to sustain effort, faded inside the final 150 M. |
| 9 | 11 | FRIENDLY GAINS (CG300) | C Soumillon | -- | Broke well, showed early speed to go forward and secured a rail position on the stands' side, led steadily going into final 400 M, asked for effort 300 M out but failed to respond, soon overhauled and weakened. |
| 10 | 9 | DIM SUM (CH226) | Z Purton | CP | Always prominent and raced as leader in the group towards the centre, struggled to sprint with them passing 400 M, weakened gradually towards the finish. |
| 11 | 12 | NIGHTLIGN (CJ145) | M Du Plessis | -- | Shifted out abruptly after jumping from a low barrier, switched to race towards the stands' side passing 800 M and lost some ground in the process, 3Ls back in last going into final 400 M, failed to pick up at all and was disappointing. |
| 12 | 5 | SANZIRO (CE208) | B Doyle | B/XB/TT | Bumped shortly after start, settled in a rearward position in the group towards the centre, ran on very one-paced inside 400 M before dropping away towards the finish. |
