1 | 12 | MUTUAL FRIENDSHIP (CG260) | T H So | -- | Eased to rear, 7Ls off the leaders along the fence, favoured by the fast tempo, progressed steadily 300 M, drifted away 100 M to score comfortably. |
2 | 6 | VICTORY CONQUEROR (CJ230) | D Beadman | XB/TT | Prominent, 2-1/2Ls off the leaders on the rails, benefited by the fast pace, closed the race off strongly, led briefly 150 M, overhauled 100 M, ran on for 2nd. |
3 | 10 | LONGWAH RISING (CJ297) | O Doleuze | -- | Pushed to take a prominent spot as usual, 1L off the leaders 2 to 3-wide, not suited by the fast sectionals, ran on well to the line and grabbed 3rd without much threat to the winner. |
4 | 7 | BUCCANEER (CH214) | Z Purton | -- | Pushed to keep up in midfield, 4-1/2Ls off the leaders 2-wide, favoured by the fast pace, progressed steadily 300 M. |
5 | 1 | DIAMOND KNIGHT (CK311) | D Whyte | -- | Pushed forward, 1L off the leaders, trapped 3-wide without cover and raced very keenly from 900 M, not suited by the fast tempo, ran on well until 100 M flattened. |
6 | 4 | SPECIAL K (CK114) | M L Yeung | CP | Eased back, 6Ls off the leaders 2-wide, benefited by the fast pace, made some ground final 200 M. |

8 | 9 | MAGIC SWEEP (CH299) | H W Lai | B | Eased back, 6Ls off the leaders, trapped 3-wide, helped by the fast pace, ran on ok in final stages. |

10 | 8 | TOP NEWS (CK196) | Y T Cheng | -- | Very slow away, hard ridden along the fence and to obtain a midfield spot, 4-1/2Ls off the leaders, suited by the fast tempo, but no progress in straight. |
11 | 3 | SOLAR MIGHTY (CH124) | G Mosse | B/TT | Awkward away, hard ridden to occupy a midfield spot, 3Ls off the fast pace 2 to 3-wide, soon weakened 400 M. |
