| 1 | 9 | CALIFORNIA GUNGHO (B204) | N Callan | B/TT | Had fast early speed to come across from outside gate & assume uncontested lead. Raced over a length clear entering last section, joined in the lead by runner-up at 100m before digging deep in final strides for narrow win. |
| 2 | 4 | MIG ENERGY (C376) | Z Purton | XB1/TT | Had soft run in midfield throughout early & middle stages. Moved away from the inside on straightening, sprinted quickly passing 300m, moved up to share lead at 100m before being nosed out on line. Just missed, clear of 3rd. |
| 3 | 11 | UNIQUE TREASURE (C141) | J Moreira | P | Ridden forward but was crossed by winner & settled in leaders back position. Couldn't stick with the leader after entering the last section but battled away ok in concluding stages to hold well beaten third. |
| 4 | 8 | HAPPY ALUMNI (C065) | V Borges | H/XB/TT | Steadied after start & taken back to second last. Moved the widest runner on straightening when a long way from lead before making up significant late ground to run to a well beaten 4th. Good run considering circumstances. |
| 5 | 7 | PRESIDENT'S CHOICE (D038) | K Teetan | -- | Steadied after the start & drifted back to race worse than midfield away from the rail. Shifted wider entering the last section when still well back before making up a length or two in final furlong. |
| 6 | 2 | BE READY (D024) | C Schofield | B | Good position 1,1 throughout early & middle stages. Forced wider by runner-up entering last section before peaking at the 300m & weakening out in the final 250m. |
| 7 | 12 | THUNDER STOMP (V279) | C Wong | B | Improved after the start to race in second, away from rail. Peaked on run soon after straightening & yielded over 6 lengths in the final 300m. |
| 8 | 10 | HELAKU KNIGHT (C328) | M L Yeung | H-/XB- | Raced in midfield away from the rail, cornered awkwardly at the 900m before easing wider on cornering. Four lengths form the lead entering last section but doubled that margin when racing greenly in straight. Never likely. |
| 9 | 3 | PRIVATE COUNCIL (D389) | A Hamelin | -- | Raced in midfield on rail in early stages. Moved away from inside passing the 500m, entered last section 4.5L from lead before weakening out to be beaten 10L on line. |
| 10 | 6 | HAPPY FORTUNE (D341) | T H So | H | Crowded & lost ground at start & consequently raced at the rear. Continued a clear last on cornering & made no noteworthy improvement in straight. Well beaten. |
| 11 | 1 | SWIFT SPIRIT (D201) | H N Wong | B/TT | Lost ground after the start & raced worse than midfield on rail. Cornered with only two runners behind before weakening out further in the straight to be a long second last. |
| 12 | 5 | URBAN DANCER (C512) | M Chadwick | TT | Wasn't fast away but improved to midfield before being left three wide without cover throughout. Weakened out after straightening after covering extra ground. Long last. |
