| 1 | 8 | HAPPY CHAMPION (N027) | H W Lai | -- | Taken back from the outside alley and parked at the tail of the field, 2 wide with cover. Came down the centre of the track with a blistering run to swoop over its rivals and grab victory close to the wire. |
| 2 | 10 | WISER (L197) | T H So | -- | Sluggish at the start then was ridden along to maintain touch with the field whilst settling at the rear along the paint. Motored home to grab 2nd in the shadows of the post. |
| 3 | 4 | SURFER BOY (L306) | Y T Cheng | B | Camped midfield, 3 wide with cover. Loomed up as a threat and was in front with 50m to go but was collard late. |
| 4 | 2 | LUCKY TURBO (M231) | D Beadman | TT | Showed good speed to settle 1 out 1 back. Kept on well. |
| 5 | 1 | LUCKY RED (CJ059) | D Whyte | -- | Enjoyed a nice run in the race after box seating. Hit the front near the 200m and looked likely but was overhauled inside the 100m. |
| 6 | 11 | TURIN CHAMPION (M060) | T Clark | SR-/XB1 | Settled worse than midfield, 1 off with cover. Copped a check approaching the 100m whilst running on then was hampered over the final 100m and never really got a clear shot. |
| 7 | 5 | SUPERIOR WARRIOR (L167) | M L Yeung | TT | Hustled along early and camped just off the speed 3 wide with cover on the circle. Was a spent force over the concluding stages. |
| 8 | 3 | RIDE ON THE FIRE (M137) | O Doleuze | P | Began well and took its time to eventually fold across and travel outside the leader2-3 wide without cover. Faded over the final 100m. |
| 9 | 7 | LIFELINE ELITE (M256) | B Doyle | TT | A little slow to begin but soon gathered momentum and led along the fence. Was running on empty by the furlong. |
| 10 | 6 | CREATIVE UNION (M338) | K C Leung | XB | Raced with the backmakers, 2 wide with cover. Plugged away in the home straight. |
| 11 | 9 | AMAZING SKY (L229) | M Chadwick | B | Travelled behind midfield the fence. Commenced to close off fairly but ran into traffic problems over the final 100m and because of this was not properly tested. |
| 12 | 12 | SEIZE THE DAY (CJ152) | M Du Plessis | B | Settled in a midfield position, 2 deep with cover. Kept to the inside in the straight but failed to run on. |
