Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 9 | MOONWALK (L083) | W Pike | -- | Positive from outset, box seated in 1 out 1 back slot throughout, travelled well to bend, eased out and quickly put a break on rivals, ran away to win convincingly. |
| 2 | 4 | QUELLE SURPRISE (L008) | J Lloyd | -- | Angled into midfield from an awkward alley, tracked eventual winner throughout, improved wide on turning, kept going nicely in run to take a distant 2nd. |
| 3 | 13 | RARE TREASURE (CH150) | H W Lai | XB/TT | Even getaway, settled behind pace group on fence 4Ls back, used nothing in run, worked into clear passing 300 M, stayed on well for a place. |
| 4 | 12 | ALL TIME HIGH (CG285) | K L Chui | B/XB/TT | Showed usual speed, travelled nicely on leaders back, had a fair run despite even speed, right there turning, in mix for a place but lost out final 50 M. |
| 5 | 7 | GALLANT GALLOP (L080) | W M Lai | B1/TT1 | No speed from outset, settled in rear division 8Ls to 9Ls off speed, saved ground on rails on bend, made some ground final 200 M but never really likely. |
| 6 | 11 | NORDIC STAR (CH302) | C K Tong | TT | Drifted back from a wide alley, shared rear 8 to 9Ls off speed in running line, set task when still well back to bend, made some late headway. |
| 7 | 8 | RIBOT LEGEND (CK030) | M L Yeung | -- | Slowly away, got too far back as a result racing 6Ls or so from top end, hung in mid-section, didn't finish off as normally would. |
| 8 | 5 | VILASOL (CK303) | Y T Cheng | -- | No early pace, settled 8Ls away 3 wide, well back last turning, closed steadily late making some progress final furlong. |
| 9 | 10 | MY TIME (CJ310) | W C Marwing | -- | Plenty of early pace, went to front and controlled affairs throughout, challenged on turning in, soon overhauled passing 300 M, gradually faded. |
| 10 | 3 | LUCKY AMICI (CK177) | J Victoire | XB1/TT | Slow into stride and soon at rear, best part of 9 to 10Ls off leaders throughout, still back there on rails turning, just passed tired runners late. |
| 11 | 1 | NUGGET WARRIOR (CK147) | G Mosse | -- | Unbalanced early and got further back than intended, 7Ls away, 3 wide behind midfield, struggling on turn, didn't find and turned in a disappointing performance. (See Racing Incidents.) |
| 12 | 14 | FULL PACK (CJ312) | K W Leung | B | Fair to begin, behind midfield 6Ls down on rails, few excuses to bend, plodded away in straight. |
| 13 | 2 | MERIDIAN PRIDE (CH057) | Z Purton | B/TT | Broke nicely, rolled on to race outside leader, travelled strongly throughout, 1/2L down turning, found nothing when pressure applied and dropped out. |
| 14 | 6 | AMBITIOUS OWNER (CJ106) | T H So | B/XB/TT | Slow out and checked early, posted 3 wide without cover throughout, used too much in mid-section, struggling bend, weakened easily. |
