| 1 | 2 | MR CROISSANT (C234) | Z Purton | CP1 | Went forward to be disputing the lead on inside, led going well passing 300M, was challenged by runner up final 150M but held on always. |
| 2 | 12 | JUMBO PRIZE (C283) | H T Mo | TT1 | Chased leaders on inside, switched out to challenge 350M, pushed winner all the way to the line but always held. |

| 4 | 11 | GALLANT RETURN (A308) | M F Poon | -- | Held up in a position ahead of midfield, 4Ls to make up top of straight, stayed on mildly over final 300M, no serious threat to first 3. (Lame RF leg.) |
| 5 | 9 | MONKEY JEWELLERY (B378) | J Moreira | -- | From draw 12 raced in midfield 3-wide, no cover from 700M, kept on evenly in the straight, never going the pace to challenge leaders. |
| 6 | 4 | MR ALDAN (C323) | K Teetan | B/TT | Dropped back towards the rear, settled in 11th spot just over 6Ls off leaders, stayed on final 400M making mild progress but never threatened. |
| 7 | 8 | HAPPY VICTORY (B195) | K C Leung | -- | Up with early pace before easing off to sit behind leaders passing 800M, had his chance early straight, faded over final 150M. |

| 12 | 3 | STAR OF YUEN LONG (C303) | M Chadwick | -- | Reared abruptly at the start losing a significant amount of ground, got back to the tail of the field 700M, ran past a couple of beaten rivals in the straight. Slow start costly. (To consecutive barrier trials.) |
