Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 6 | MAGIC SWEEP (CH299) | D Whyte | B | Settled on rails in midfield, angled off rails for a run after straightening, quickened well to assert authority near the line. |
| 2 | 1 | MY HOME TOWN (CH331) | J Winks | -- | Broke well from middle draw, raced 3-wide without cover in prominent position, improved to join leader briefly approaching home bend, held one-out-one-back position turning in, hit front after straightening, caught late. |
| 3 | 8 | SUPER SNIPPETS (CG217) | Z Purton | B | Settled towards rear to straight, ran on steadily down straight, did best work late. |
| 4 | 7 | TEAM WORK (CH276) | O Doleuze | B | Began with others, raced in prominent one-back position on rails, similar in box-seat turning in and inconvenienced, fought on gamely without threatening. |
| 5 | 5 | SUPER GENERAL (CJ107) | H W Lai | H-/TT | Began well from the one draw, held rails run to soon take up running, led the field to 250 M, no extra. |
| 6 | 3 | EVER BEAUTY (CJ161) | D Beadman | TT | Began fairly, soon 0.5L in front but taken back to 1-out-1- back position early far side, shuffled back to 2L 4th before switched out to improve around the bend, held some chance 200 M out but unable to sustain effort. (Tactic questioned.) |
| 7 | 12 | SOARING RIVER (CK137) | M W Leung | SR | Began with others from the widest draw, soon settled at the back, saved ground turning in, ran on steadily until running out of room closing stages. (Questioned.) |
| 8 | 9 | STAR OF FAME (CH043) | K T Yeung | TT | Settled in last few to straight, tight between runners 200 M out, made some late impression. |
| 9 | 11 | POWER RETURN (CK039) | M Du Plessis | -- | Moderate start from a high draw, settled just worse than midfield far side, kept on steadily in straight without quickening. |
| 10 | 2 | FANTASTIC CHOICE (CJ216) | W C Marwing | B1/TT | Broke well, niggled along, settled just better than midfield to 400 M, made no progress in straight. (Blood in trachea and lame next day.) |
| 11 | 10 | TIGER RIDGE (CD084) | W M Lai | B/TT | Sluggish at start, travelled wide towards rear far side, went wider into straight dropping to last, no further impression. |
