Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 1 | EGYPTIAN RA (CE002) | M Chadwick | TT | In mid-division early but gradually crept forward to lead approaching 900 M, kept on well inside 350 M despite hanging in and difficult to be ridden out. Just held on. |
| 2 | 4 | FELLOWSHIP (CG292) | K C Leung | TT | Settled behind midfield and used little in run, steadied near 300 M but thereafter quickened impressively to nearly win the race. |
| 3 | 9 | EXPRESS WIN (CJ042) | B Prebble | TT | Up with the early pace, always prominent in 3rd, strongly challenged the race leader inside 250 M but was always held. |
| 4 | 5 | JOY AND FUN (CH014) | B Doyle | CP | Handily placed in a position ahead of midfield, had a smooth trip to straight, picked up well passing 300 M, nearest at finish. |
| 5 | 10 | GALLANT LION (CG243) | Z Purton | V/H | Held inside running in midfield, waited with until 350 M, progressed steadily inside 200 M, kept on late. |
| 6 | 3 | SIGHT WINNER (CJ049) | O Doleuze | -- | Broke well but was taken back to mid-division, travelled 3-wide throughout and no cover from 800 M, held every chance in straight, ran on nicely towards the line. |
| 7 | 7 | EYSHAL (CJ099) | D Beadman | B/TT | Eased to the rear on jumping, given a patient ride and was 7Ls down entering the straight, steadied and shifted out near 400 M for a clear run, stayed on strongly towards the finish. |
| 8 | 8 | REGENCY DRAGON (CH001) | J Winks | B/TT | Led steadily on rails till 900 M, driven 300 M out, found little and weakened quickly final 100 M. |
| 9 | 11 | NOBLE CONQUEROR (CG169) | Y T Cheng | P | Towards the rear 7Ls back and saved ground on the inner, pressed on inside 500 M, made some headway from off the pace but offered little threat. |
| 10 | 2 | HAWKES BAY (CG064) | W Pike | XB | Slow to begin, placed behind midfield 5 to 6Ls off the pace, switched to 3-wide making the final turn, plugged on in straight but never dangerous. |
| 10 | 6 | JACKPOT DELIGHT (CJ101) | W C Marwing | -- | Settled in midfield 5Ls back, well covered throughout, stayed on inside 400 M but not pace to challenge. |
| 12 | 12 | NIGHTLIGN (CJ145) | J Lloyd | -- | Close up behind leaders, was a shade keen and had to be restrained, ridden 350 M out, soon outpaced. |
| 13 | 13 | EXCELLENT BOY (CE238) | W M Lai | P | Dropped back on jumping, 3-wide in last few 7Ls back, under pressure inside 500 M, not quicken. Never a factor. |
