Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 7 | EVER KING (CE147) | D Beadman | V/TT | Patiently ridden, still 6Ls back in 12th at the 600 M, quickened up well down the centre of the track to lead inside final few strides. |
| 2 | 6 | CARRY GOOD NEWS (CG219) | W Pike | -- | 4-back the rails in 10th at halfway, looked the likely winner when quickening up well to lead 200 M out, caught by EVER KING close home. |
| 3 | 2 | VISIONARIO (CJ095) | D Whyte | CP | Worse than midfield 3-wide but with cover until home straight when 5Ls back, stayed on strongly down centre of the track, only narrowly failed. |
| 4 | 1 | GALLANT MASTER (CJ255) | B Prebble | B | Midfield with cover down back straight, quickened up well off home turn, dangerous when 1L down at the 200 M, marginally held from the placings. |
| 5 | 14 | RAIN OF THUNDER (CJ352) | M Du Plessis | B | Midfield and 3-back on the rails through to the 600 M when 4Ls back, every chance when a neck 2nd at the 200 M, no extra final furlong. |
| 6 | 12 | FORTUNE DRAGON (CH324) | B Doyle | B/TT | 3-wide with cover in midfield down the back, unbalanced turning in when about 5Ls behind speed, lacked pace of the principals. |
| 7 | 8 | ON SHAN BRAVE (CH230) | K C Leung | SR/V | Box-seated in 3rd at 1200 M, every chance when 2Ls back in 2nd off final turn, soon swamped and steadied when beaten 100 M out. |
| 8 | 13 | FEEL THE FUN (CJ205) | C K Tong | -- | Held the 'one-out-one-back' position in 4th at 1100 M, about 4Ls back in 5th swinging for home, one-paced to conclude. |
| 9 | 3 | EYE WITNESS (CG027) | M Chadwick | XB/TT | No early pace and soon 8Ls last, crept at little closer at one point in the home straight but couldn't follow through inside final 200 M. |
| 10 | 10 | CLOVIS (CH044) | T H So | B/XB | Disputed early running, gradually picked up the tempo to lead by 2Ls turning for home, headed before the 200 M and quickly swallowed up. |
| 11 | 11 | LOHAN (CH279) | J Winks | B/XB | 2-wide in 10th down the back straight, still rearward and 6Ls adrift turning for home, always chasing the majority of the field. |
| 12 | 5 | GREEN GLORY (CJ177) | Z Purton | B-/V1/TT | Always rearward, 6Ls back at halfway and 8Ls last turning for home, never a factor. |
| 13 | 9 | JOLLY WONGCHOY (CH076) | K T Yeung | TT | Could not lead solo and force to work early on, 1L back in 2nd at the 800 M, weakened at top of home straight and dropped out tamely. |
| 14 | 4 | SICHUAN HERO (CJ044) | Y T Cheng | B/H | Very wide no cover initially, still wide when 1L back in 3rd at 1200 M, struggling turning for home, beat a hasty retreat. |
