Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 7 | PACKING OK (L372) | D Beadman | H | Tracked leader along the inside, had a smooth trip and travelled the best of all making the home turn, found plenty when asked, hit lead 150M from home and drew nicely clear for a comfortable win. |
| 2 | 1 | SUPER PISTACHIO (L099) | M Chadwick | TT | Made some use early to obtain an one out one back position, responded to pressure and briefly led mid-straight, kept on but was outstayed by winner final 100M. |
| 3 | 10 | WIN PRACTITIONER (CG180) | G Cheyne | TT | Given a waiting ride as expected, 7Ls off the steady pace in middle stages, driven approaching the home turn and improved round the outside of field, stayed on well and almost caught the 2nd horse at the finish. |
| 4 | 8 | VIGOR DELIGHT (CK070) | C Y Ho | P/H | In 4th place never far off the pace, not pace of first two but kept on steadily to go 3rd for a brief moment near 150M, flattened final stages. |
| 5 | 9 | OLE OLE (CK301) | M L Yeung | -- | Settled towards the tail of the field, improved his position passing 800M but was held up 500M-400M by a beaten runner, made some progress on straightening but was left with much to do. |
| 6 | 2 | JAMESINA (CH290) | W M Lai | CP/TT | Dropped back to a rail position behind midfield, switched to 2-wide 800M out, driven out near 400M, kept on at the same pace and never threatened. |
| 7 | 3 | ABSOLUTE HEDGE (L032) | K C Leung | TT | Vied for lead early but was allowed an uncontested lead from 1600M, driven nearing 400M and found little, weakened rapidly final 250M. |
| 8 | 4 | FEARLESS (CH301) | B Prebble | B | Settled in midfield along the 2-path, turned 3-wide over the home turn, driven inside 500M but found disappointingly little. (Mucopus) |
| 9 | 5 | VITALITY EXPRESS (L364) | D Whyte | B | In mid-division, came under pressure inside 800M and commenced to give ground making the home turn, eased 300M out. (Abnormal breathing noise reported by Jockey.) |
| 10 | 6 | CHEER (L277) | Y T Cheng | TT | Taken back to last soon after the start, outpaced and became detached from the field passing 800M, soon eased. (Irregular heart rhythm.) |
