| Placing | Horse No |
Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 2 | IRIAN (L187) | D Beadman | H | Placed towards the rear and confidently ridden, had plenty to do turning in but quickened up well once a gap opened up 200 M, made rapid headway in latter part of straight and got up before the line. |
| 2 | 10 | INTERCHINA STAR (CJ226) | H W Lai | TT | Never far off the pace in 4th, bid 3-wide into home straight, picked up well to hit lead 100 M from the line but had no answer to winner's late surge. |
| 3 | 12 | HOLD HANDS (CH116) | C K Tong | -- | Placed 2-wide in mid-division, driven passing 400 M, finished off the race evenly and briefly looked a winning chance before the winner swept past in last 100 M. |
| 4 | 6 | SOVIET PEARL (CK187) | Z Purton | -- | Unhurried in early and middle stages and positioned at the tail, switched to outside midway on the turn, ran on steadily to go 4th close home. |
| 5 | 9 | REALLY HAPPY (CJ165) | M Du Plessis | TT | Ahead of midfield early, moved up to track leader 2-wide passing 1100 M, rallied to take over inside 250 M, had every chance but weakened over final 100 M. |
| 6 | 5 | OPERATION SECRET (CH081) | G Cheyne | CP | Caught wide for 500 M then tucked in behind midfield for cover, angled out into clear 250 M, stayed on without threatening. |
| 7 | 1 | GREAT ACHIEVEMENT (CD250) | K C Leung | TT | Gradually crossed to the lead, collared in early straight then weakened under pressure passing 200 M. |
| 8 | 3 | BLUE SKY (CJ289) | T H So | H | Never better than midfield, travelled 3-wide to home straight and left without cover from 900 M, driven approaching 300 M but lacked a further response. |
| 9 | 8 | SAPELLI (CK191) | D Whyte | -- | Positioned in midfield off the inside rail, failed to mount a serious challenge turning in, no extra closing stages. |
| 10 | 11 | LU YUE (CH278) | S K Sit | B- | Driven to the front after the start, sat in handy 3rd entering the back stretch, not picked up in straight and weakened rapidly inside 100 M. |
| 11 | 7 | AMBITIOUS GENERAL (CJ066) | B Prebble | -- | Towards the rear 7Ls off leader, circled 3-wide while launching his bid on the final turn, gave way passing 250 M. |
| PU | 4 | DUMBARTON ROCK (CJ228) | M L Yeung | B/TT | Pushed for early lead, blundered near 1300 M, pulled up. (Lame / retired after race.) |
