Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 5 | NEVER BETTER (T140) | D Whyte | PC | Pushed to occupy the box seat, enjoyed the slow sectionals, ran on well to score by just a nose. |

| 4 | 10 | SPEEDY SANDY (P239) | K Teetan | B/TT | Taken back to rear, travelled 8Ls behind the leader 2 wide with cover, despite the slow pace, finished off strongly for 4th. |
| 5 | 1 | WINNING KING (S357) | M L Yeung | CP/XB/TT | Camped handy, travelled 2Ls behind the leader 2 wide with cover, suited by the slow sectionals, kept on steadily to the line without any serious threat. |
| 6 | 8 | MUTUAL JOY (T282) | T H So | H | Raced midfield, travelled 4Ls behind the leader 3 wide without cover, harmed by the slow pace, kept on one pace to the line. |
| 7 | 11 | IDYLLIC WIND (N139) | K C Ng | -- | Ridden forward to park outside the leader at slow tempo, kept on until final 150M weakened. |
| 8 | 4 | GRACEFUL KINGDOM (P145) | G Lerena | XB/CP1 | Settled worse than midfield about 6Ls behind the leader 2 wide with cover, despite the slow sectionals, made minor ground in straight. |
| 9 | 6 | ROYAL SPIRIT (T257) | C K Tong | B/TT | Raced midfield, travelled 5Ls behind the leader on the fence, not suited by the slow tempo, one paced home. |
