| 1 | 7 | MERCURIAL (D283) | C L Chau | XB-/TT2 | Held narrow lead when racing 4 wide without cover in back straight. Crossed to rail causing severe interference near the 600m corner. Held over length lead on straightening & maintained that advantage to line. Tough win. |
| 2 | 11 | PLIKCLONE (D003) | Z Purton | B | Raced just behind lead when 3 wide without cover down back straight. Hampered when tightened by leader/winner near 600m bend. Cornered just over a length behind before being beaten similar margin into second, clear of 3rd. |
| 3 | 6 | SUNNY BABY (E166) | M L Yeung | -- | Raced in just worse than midfield on rail throughout. Closed off ok along the inside in the closing stages to snare third but over 3L from the lead. Sound debut. |
| 4 | 9 | E HONEY (E088) | C Schofield | -- | Raced just behind leading quartet on the rail after the start. Lost some ground when steadying to avoid hampered horses near 600m bend. Shifted outwards when asked for full effort near 250m before finishing ok last furlong. |
| 5 | 5 | PEAK TO PEAK (D472) | K Teetan | SR | Pushed forward before holding the rail in a line of 4 at the front. Badly checked & lost ground near the 600m bend. Battled on to non-threatening midfield finish in dash to line but did have legitimate excuse. |
| 6 | 1 | WOOD ON FIRE (C460) | K C Leung | H/V/TT | Slow to begin & consequently raced near the rear early before settling third last. Moved away from the rail near the 450m, hampered slightly when making ground near the 250m before finishing off fairly to midfield late. |
| 7 | 12 | M M JOHNNY (D115) | A Badel | B | Steadied from widest gate & taken back to last. Continued at the back, 8.5L from lead entering last section, shifted back towards the rail after straightening before making up a few lengths to midfield along the inside. |
| 8 | 4 | MOONLUCK (E079) | C Y Ho | -- | Improved position after the first bend to race in midfield away from rail. Continued behind the leading quartet, around 3L from lead passing half-way. Cornered around 4L behind before making no improvement. |
| 9 | 3 | AMAZING BOY (D513) | H N Wong | TT1 | Shifted across after first turn to race midfield off rail. Continued in midfield over 5L from lead passing half-way before forced 3 wide to avoid interference soon after. Cornered widest but made no impression in straight. |
| 10 | 10 | GLADSOME RYDER (E033) | V Borges | -- | Steadied & taken back towards the rear. Continued near the back over 8L behind approaching the corner before making no noteworthy headway in dash to line. Well beaten. |
| 11 | 8 | DAZZLING FEELING (D296) | B Shinn | TT | Didn't begin fast & settled worse than midfield away from rail. Entered last section just under 7L from the lead before failing to make any improvement & running second last. Well beaten. |
| 12 | 2 | HONEST WAY (B200) | N Callan | CP/TT | Raced close to lead in a line of 4 down back straight. Tightened & lost ground when hampered near the 600m bend when 2L from lead. Emptied out before being hampered near the 200m before weakening to long last. |
