| 1 | 4 | ENABLING (M229) | M Du Plessis | B | Tracked leader, driven 450M out, led 250M, drew well clear nearing 100M and maintained its lead to the line. |
| 2 | 7 | VIGOR DELIGHT (CK070) | Z Purton | -- | Settled near the rear in the first half, strode closer to midfield passing halfway, stayed on final 300M to go 2nd near line but no impression on the runaway winner. |
| 3 | 2 | SHINY DAY (M131) | Y T Cheng | -- | Soon led and dictated pace, driven passing 400M but not able to shake off pursuers, headed by winner 250M, faded final stages and lost 2nd near line. |
| 4 | 6 | INDIGO WAY (M227) | H W Lai | -- | In midfield along the rails, shaken up near 500M, kept on one paced down the inside. |
| 5 | 10 | OWNERS' GLORY (L391) | W M Lai | B | In mid-division, 4-5Ls back in 7th place halfway, into clear 300M, stayed on fairly. |
| 6 | 1 | REGENCY WINNER (CK410) | M L Yeung | TT | Behind midfield, saved ground along the inside, shuffled back to near last making the home turn, stayed on fairly. |
| 7 | 3 | YUE LU TREASURE (CJ184) | C W Wong | -- | Switched off to last, 8Ls off the pace down the back straight, turned 3-wide 800M and niggled along making the turn, made limited progress over final 300M. |
| 8 | 8 | TONBRIDGE (N125) | T Angland | B | Settled 2-wide towards the rear, not quickened when placed under pressure rounding home turn, never threatened. |
| 9 | 11 | TRES MAGNIFIQUE (L367) | J Lloyd | B/TT | Tracked leaders, came under pressure inside 500M, weakened mid-straight. |
| 10 | 5 | FORTUNE WINNER (CK315) | A Suborics | B/TT | Never far off the pace but was 3-wide without cover for most of the trip, pushed along 500M out, not quickened, out of contention 200M. |
| 11 | 9 | INTERCHINA STAR (CJ226) | T Clark | -- | Positioned ahead of midfield and always within 3Ls of leader, not able to keep up nearing 500M, no extra over final 200M. (Lame next day.) |
| 12 | 12 | SUPER STRIKE (L393) | K C Leung | B | Reserved near the rear, 7Ls off the pace in the first half, gave little response inside 400M, never a factor. |
