Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 1 | DREAM HORSE (CG029) | M Chadwick | H/TT | Fast into stride, always in the firing line just off the pace, had a long duel with the persistent leader shortly after straightening, stuck on well to gradually gain the upper hand inside 150 M. |
| 2 | 2 | MY MEMORY (CK173) | Y T Cheng | -- | Ordinary jump but showed plenty of pace to grab the lead, kept on strongly from 400 M when the eventual winner loomed up alongside, battled on well to go down by a neck at the finish. |
| 3 | 6 | ENCOSTA DON (CH305) | J Winks | B- | Drifted back on jumping from a wide barrier, given a patient ride in the rear against the rail and had 5Ls to make up passing 400 M, ran on well down the inside but offered little threat to the first two which kicked well clear. |
| 4 | 10 | GREAT UNITY (CJ209) | M Du Plessis | -- | Taken to the fence on jumping, travelled towards the rear about 5Ls off the pace, gradually drifted out passing 600 M and poised to strike, stayed on OK inside the final 200 M without threatening the principals. |
| 5 | 7 | TURF WINNER (CK061) | W M Lai | H | Quickly into stride, up with the pace early but was caught 3-wide making the turn, held every chance but kept on one-paced only. |
| 6 | 4 | PRIVATE ROAD (CK189) | W C Marwing | -- | Slow out, taken to a 3-wide position behind midfield, raced without cover and shuffled back to last coming out of the bend, made some ground down the outside but never threatened. |
| 7 | 9 | TELECOM LUCKY STAR (CK025) | S K Sit | TT | Bumped at the start and lost ground, guided to a midfield position on the fence 3Ls behind leader, under pressure from 500 M and had nothing to offer in straight. |
| 8 | 11 | MAGIC PRACTITIONER (CK125) | H W Lai | -- | Began with them, settled in a rearward position 5Ls back, had no clear run early in straight but couldn't pick up from off the pace when clear. Another disappointing effort. |
| 9 | 5 | SOLAR UP (CK065) | P H Lo | -- | Stayed close to the early pace but soon ran freely and difficult to settle, back in midfield turning in, couldn't step up a gear when asked and quickly faded out of contention inside 300 M. |
| 10 | 8 | FAIR NAVIGATOR (CJ254) | O Doleuze | TT | Average start from the inside draw, soon shaken up to take closer behind leaders, ideally positioned turning in but dropped right out passing 300 M. |
| 11 | 3 | FORTUNE KING (CK201) | Z Purton | -- | 3Ls off the pace in a position better than midfield but had little left once into the home straight, dropped away passing 200 M. |
