| Placing | Horse No |
Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 8 | HAPPY SEVEN (CK155) | B Prebble | B | Ideally placed on the fence just off the lead, moved to a striking position inside 500M, readily drew clear when asked to stride on, kept on strongly and was never challenged to the line. |
| 2 | 9 | RIBOT LEGEND (CK030) | W C Marwing | -- | Well covered behind leading pack, had a smooth run to straight, came through between horses to go 2nd 75M from home but made little impression on the winner. |
| 3 | 10 | SPINNAKER (CK305) | D Whyte | TT | Went forward after the start then restrained to a two out two back position, proved no match with the runaway winner but stuck on well for a 3rd. |
| 4 | 13 | AMAZING JOURNEY (CH281) | K C Leung | B/TT | Settled in the rear group, switched away from the fence passing 700M and swung wide into straight, found his stride down the outside and made significant headway over the final 300M. |
| 5 | 2 | CHAMPION MOUNT (CK087) | O Doleuze | TT | Held up in midfield, edged into clear 400M and was produced with every chance but couldn't get past the leaders. |
| 6 | 14 | CENTRAL ROLE (L077) | D Beadman | TT | Up with the early pace then moved to a spot one out one back from leader before the turn, briefly took it up inside 400M but flattened halfway down the stretch. |
| 7 | 5 | LOCAL POWER (CH296) | C W Wong | -- | Managed to bag a rail position towards the rear of the field, stayed on inside 400M from off the pace but never looked likely. |
| 8 | 4 | HEADSIWIN (CK385) | G Mosse | H | Began awkwardly and lost ground, settled at the rear about 8Ls behind leader, improved on the outer of field over the home turn but ran on only fairly inside 400M. |
| 9 | 3 | MR TOPAZ (L097) | T H So | -- | Caught 3-wide behind midfield throughout and found little once in line for home. Never a factor. |
| 10 | 1 | BRAVE SPIRIT (CJ258) | M Chadwick | B/TT | Gradually moved to the front and led as expected, took them along evenly but soon under pressure when tackled near 400M, found no extra and dropped out of contention quickly. (Jockey and Trainer questioned.) |
| 11 | 11 | VALUE CHOICE (CG213) | A Suborics | B | Settled behind midfield 5Ls off the pace, never find the pace to challenge coming off the bend, ran on empty final 150M. |
| 12 | 12 | FLORAL NIRVANA (CH232) | Z Purton | CP/XB/TT | Towards the rear 6-7Ls back, had no clear crack from 350M to 200M but not much response when clear, eased close home. |
| 13 | 7 | ROYAL PEGASUS (CK103) | K L Chui | B/TT | Restrained to midfield after the start but couldn't slot in from a wide draw, left without cover from 900M and dropped away very tamely over the final 200M. |
| 14 | 6 | MY GOAL (CJ131) | Y T Cheng | CP | Caught wide without cover on jumping from draw 13 and raced further back than anticipated, steadied inside 400M and couldn't get into the race after, heavily eased. (Unacceptable performance.) |
