Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 4 | STEEL NERVES (CG320) | C K Tong | B2 | Crowded soon after the start, then ridden along to settle 4 back the fence. Peeled widest on the home turn and surged late to snatch victory close to the wire. |
| 2 | 6 | RARE TREASURE (CH150) | Y T Cheng | TT | Camped 3 back, 1 off with cover. Loomed up in the straight and hit the lead approaching the 50, but was collared late. |
| 3 | 10 | NOT QUITE PERFECT (CG254) | M L Yeung | B/TT | Led with a number of runners early before handing up near the 600 M to take up a trailing position. Had every chance. |
| 4 | 11 | TOUT VA BIEN (CJ020) | B Prebble | P | Coursed very wide in the early & middle stages before being able to cross to the fence and lead after the 600 M. Was gassed inside the final 100 M. |
| 5 | 12 | GORGEOUS RULER (CK403) | H W Lai | TT | Managed to easily take up a handy position along the paint. Was 3 back by the 600 M, and despite enjoying a nice run in transit failed to find any extra at the business end of the race. |
| 6 | 2 | K-JACK (CG233) | K C Leung | TT | Settled with the backmakers, 2 deep with cover. Railed up in the straight battled away fairly in the run to the line. |
| 7 | 9 | CHINA GOOD (CL258) | B Doyle | SR | Sent forward from the outside gate but had to use plenty of petrol, eventually crossing to race outside the leader near the 600 M. Was running on empty over the concluding stages. |
| 8 | 8 | FISHKING GLORY (CL123) | Z Purton | H-/TT | Raced behind the speed 3-wide with some cover on the final circle. Kept on one paced in the home straight. |
| 9 | 5 | CARE FREE LUCK (CL239) | J Lloyd | B | Steadied soon after the start settling well back in the race 2 to 3-wide with cover. Never likely. |
| 10 | 1 | BULLISH WIN (CH197) | M Chadwick | B/TT | Raced at the tail of the field some distance off the 2nd last runner. Struggled in the run home. |
| 11 | 3 | FUN (CH282) | T H So | -- | Raced with the leading division before settling 1 out 1 back after the 600 M. (Faded in the run to the finishing post.) |
| 12 | 7 | SUCCESSFUL ERA (CK276) | D Whyte | CP- | Was niggled along to maintain its position worse than midfield, 2 deep with cover. Rolled to the outside on the home turn but was a spent force soon after. (To trial.) |
