Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 4 | SCARLET CAMELLIA (M141) | Z Purton | TT | Taken in from wide draw to be one-off 7th before turn, 4-wide into straight, lengthened nicely to win going away. |
| 2 | 9 | JUST FANTASTIC (L291) | Y T Cheng | B | Jumped well but restrained in 2nd place to straight, fought on gamely but unable to hold off winner. Lame right fore. |
| 3 | 10 | KING OF REASON (M154) | C Y Lui | H | Taken forward soon after start. Clear leader down the side and into straight, battled gamely but lost 2nd close home. |
| 4 | 3 | FULFIL A WISH (L235) | D Whyte | -- | Taken forward from wide draw to be one-off in 4th before the turn, looked chance at 400m but only one-paced to line. |
| 5 | 7 | CARTHAGE (L256) | R Fourie | SR/TT | Taken back from wide draw and was last into the turn. Wide into straight, held for a run 250m, finished strongly when clear. |
| 6 | 11 | IMPERIAL ROME (N012) | T H So | TT | Held wide soon after start and 2nd-last into turn. Came wide into straight and made up good ground closing stages. |
| 7 | 6 | WINNING EDGE (L297) | O Doleuze | SR | Jumped with field and held 6th along the fence to the straight, stayed along rails but found little under pressure. |
| 8 | 1 | REAL SUPREME (L247) | C Y Ho | B-/TT | Jumped nicely from gate seven and held 4th behind good early pace to the straight. Found little when asked. |
| 9 | 5 | FLEET COMMAND (CK077) | W C Marwing | B | Crowded out shorter after start, dropped to 8th back stretch and around turn, did not respond to hard riding. |
| 10 | 14 | SUNRISE (CK026) | C W Wong | B | Raced wide without cover to the turn, came wide into straight and looked a chance but found nothing. Lost hind plate. |
| 11 | 2 | MAJESTIC FALCON (M236) | B Prebble | H | Last out of gate, ridden up to 11th and on bridle at 900m but never comfortable. Lay in under pressure in straight. |
| 12 | 13 | BRIGHT STAR (N387) | C K Tong | -- | Jumped with field but no early speed and settled 12th. Checked at 800m, came widest into straight. Never a threat. |
| 13 | 8 | EURO SWIFTLY (CK091) | W M Lai | H/CP | Began well but was difficult to settle at 900m when 8th. Shaken up before turn but found nothing. Tired close home. |
| 14 | 12 | NEW DEERFIELD (N005) | M L Yeung | CP/TT | Began best but couldn't go pace of early leaders and settled 3rd. Held that position to straight when tired quickly. |
