| 1 | 8 | SINGLE MALT (CK110) | M Chadwick | B/TT | Box-seated on fence down back straight, 2Ls back in 4th turning for home, 1L back at 200 M, switched off the inside soon after to lead on the line. |
| 2 | 6 | FAST WINNER (CG140) | D Whyte | BO | Always close-up, nicely placed in the 'one-out-one-back' position through to the final bend, narrowly led at 200 M, collared on the line. |
| 3 | 3 | BERNINI (CJ168) | Z Purton | B1 | 6Ls back in 10th at the 800 M, pressured but closer turning for home, 2Ls back in 5th at the 200 M, kept on dourly to just nick a place. |
| 4 | 14 | ACTUARIAL TALENT (CJ028) | W Pike | V/XB1 | Last out, one from rear and 7Ls back at 800 M, 6Ls down off last bend, kept on fairly well for 4th, never nearer. |
| 5 | 4 | KING'S CHOICE (CG040) | T H So | -- | Pressed on from widest gate to dispute early pace, 1L back in 2nd and vying for lead again swinging for home, still there at 200 M but tired late on. |
| 6 | 13 | SHINING DRAGON (CC181) | C K Tong | SR/V | Went forward as usual and 1L to the good leaving back straight, joined for lead at top of home straight, tired inside final furlong. |
| 7 | 2 | RACING SPIRIT (CE105) | K C Leung | B/TT | 3Ls back in 5th at the 800 M, similarly placed at the last bend, steadily faded out of the picture. |
| 8 | 1 | KIMBERLEY (CJ295) | A Gryder | XB | Slow to muster pace, 6Ls back in 11th initially, similar margin behind turning for home, kept on at the same pace to conclude. |
| 9 | 7 | NEWSWIRE TOO (CJ040) | B Prebble | B | Midfield 2-wide in a nice spot at halfway, 3Ls back in 5th turning for home, very one-paced. |
| 10 | 10 | OPTIC KING (CE139) | D Beadman | SR/CP/TT | Slow to muster pace, worse than midfield at least 4Ls off speed until final bend, dropped out quickly. |
| 11 | 9 | MUTUAL GAIN (CE275) | B Doyle | B | 10Ls last at the 800 M, same margin behind off last bend, never in touch. |
| 12 | 5 | TAKE IT EASY (CJ029) | C W Wong | -- | Around midfield and within 4Ls of the speed through to final bend, similar at the 200 M, very weak thereafter. |
| 13 | 11 | MYSTERIOUS (CJ276) | M W Leung | SR/TT | Always rearward at least 7Ls from the pace, found nothing under pressure. |
| 14 | 12 | TELECOM EMPEROR (CH137) | M Du Plessis | B/TT | Disputed early speed before drifting back suddenly about 900 M out, struggling turning for home, found to be "stiff" afterwards. |
