Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 8 | FLYING SUPREME (CK226) | B Doyle | -- | Handily placed in 3rd, going strongly despite racing wide, picked up well to hit front inside 200 M, made to work all the way to the line by the persistent runner-up but found enough to hold on. |
| 2 | 4 | ROYAL FLUSH (CK184) | O Doleuze | -- | Swiftly away, restrained to a handy position behind leaders, ready to strike turning in, locked in a long duel with the eventual winner, showed battling qualities but was outran close home. |
| 3 | 12 | MARK UP (CK247) | D Whyte | -- | Average beginning, gradually moved up to 6th place on the outside of group, took some time to gather in straight but stuck on in willing fashion to claim 3rd albeit well beaten by the front pair. |
| 4 | 7 | DASHING VICTORY (CK241) | S K Sit | XB | Rolled forward after the start and led steadily, pressed from 300 M but despite running on, couldn't step up a gear, headed inside 200 M and weakened close home. |
| 5 | 1 | BE GRATEFUL (CK194) | Z Purton | -- | Shaken up early to hold a position behind leaders, couldn't sprint with them when the race got serious, stayed on one paced. |
| 6 | 9 | FUN RIDER (CK231) | W C Marwing | -- | Lacked early pace, travelled near the rear 7Ls back and inclined to hang out over the turn, picked up well passing 350 M and made some late progress. |
| 7 | 10 | HEALTHY BLUEBERRY (CK222) | T H So | -- | In midfield on the fence and had a smooth run throughout, urged from 400 M and stayed on at one pace. |
| 8 | 5 | SUPER PEPPER (CK244) | B Prebble | -- | Eased to a position behind midfield, 3 wide turning for home, looked promising early in straight but his effort flattened passing 200 M. |
| 9 | 3 | DEVON JOY (CK237) | M Du Plessis | -- | Average break, drifted back to race in a rearward position 5Ls behind leader, shifted out for a clear run on straightening but didn't find much when asked. |
| 10 | 11 | LEGEND EXPRESS (CK224) | J Winks | -- | Held a 2-wide position in midfield 3-4Ls back, weakened over 300 M out. Never a factor. |
| 11 | 6 | BRIGHT TOUCH (CK243) | D Beadman | B | Well enough away, tracked leader prominently, held every chance turning in but was gradually outpaced passing 200 M. |
| 12 | 13 | REDOUTE STAR (CK245) | K L Chui | TT | Began awkwardly and lost 4Ls at the start, travelled in the rear 8Ls off the pace in middle stages, taken wide to challenge but never really got competitive, hung out near 100 M. |
| 13 | 14 | YOUNG WITNESS (CK185) | W M Lai | -- | 4-wide without cover behind midfield, covered extra ground and was beaten passing the 400 M mark. No impression. |
| 14 | 2 | CRIMSON LUCK (CK234) | C K Tong | -- | Slow to begin, in a rearward position 6-7Ls back, under pressure from 500 M and weakened quickly after turning in. |
