| 1 | 4 | ENTRAPMENT (L152) | D Whyte | -- | Slow to begin but soon resumed to sit behind pace on fence. Had a duel with the leader on straightening and put the rest of the field far behind. Prevailed 100M and ran away. |
| 2 | 12 | AMEDEO (CK292) | J Lloyd | TT | Led on fence until challenged by the eventual winner rounding home turn. Battled determinedly until knocked out 100M. Held 2nd by a comfortable margin. |
| 3 | 8 | FLYING CHINA (CK266) | W C Marwing | PC | Soon dropped to rear from high draw. Somewhat detached early despite the effort of rider. Reached the back of the field at 600M and was 6Ls down turning in. Landed on 3rd closing stages but was beaten far. |
| 4 | 1 | CHEQUE BOOK (L269) | K C Leung | -- | Well enough away but failed to work across. Restrained to race at midfield on fence from 1000M. Improved to prominent spot home turn. Hung on for a non-threatening 3rd until 100 M. |
| 5 | 11 | MAGIC TEMPLE (CC368) | M W Leung | PC | Way back early notwithstanding the effort of rider. Got to the back of main bunch and was 6Ls down from 500M. Made up some ground along the rail but was of limited significance overall. |
| 6 | 7 | CENTURY SUPER STAR (CE070) | W M Lai | BO | Niggled along but could only stay towards rear back straight. 4Ls behind the leader turning into home. Ran on without troubling the main contenders. |
| 7 | 10 | EVER BEAUTY (CJ161) | G Cheyne | H-/XB | Urged to sit within 2Ls of the pace in a 2-wide spot early. Checked to midfield 700M. Shuffled further back leaving the bend. Past beaten rivals home. |
| 8 | 6 | GRAND STORE (CH087) | Y T Cheng | -- | 3-wide in front rank through to home straight. Plugged on before weakened 200M. |
| 9 | 2 | CANNONISE (CD377) | M L Yeung | B/TT | Hard ridden early in a forward position but insufficient speed to lead. Ended up 3-wide at midfield passing 1000M. No real progress from there. |
| 10 | 9 | EASY AHEAD (CK212) | T H So | V | Travelled 5-wide without cover ahead of midfield until faded early home straight. |
| 11 | 5 | ELITE SIXTY-SIX (CK085) | Z Purton | -- | Away in line but was caught widest. Taken to race 2-wide behind midfield at 1000M. Rolled to midfield before checked towards rear 600M. Never resumed. |
