| 1 | 10 | HERO STAR (D033) | K C Leung | TT | Began fast to lead early before headed & crossed at first bend. Moved off the rail & raced outside the leader in middle stages. Dashed to lead soon after cornering before digging deep late stages to hold narrow advantage on line. |
| 2 | 8 | STAR OF WUYI (D503) | J Moreira | B | Bumped at start before improving to race just behind the leading pair. Eased 3 wide approaching corner when only 1.5L from lead before sprinting well to miss by a narrow margin on line. |
| 3 | 3 | SEVEN HEAVENS (B089) | B Shinn | V-/B2/TT | Bumped at the start before holding position in midfield on rail. Moved away from the inside approaching the 400m when 3L from lead before making late ground when moving to third inside final 100m. |
| 4 | 1 | COLONEL (D090) | K H Chan | V | Showed dazzling early speed to come across from outside gate at the first bend. Continued in lead until being headed by winner soon after straightening before battling away late to hold forth, just under 3L behind. |
| 5 | 7 | ORIENTAL AMIGO (D232) | R Maia | B | Shifted back after the start & raced near the tail throughout. Continued along rail, 5.5L from the lead entering last section before finishing off evenly along the inside in the straight to midfield. |
| 6 | 2 | PRANCE DRAGON (B349) | C Y Ho | V/TT | Steadied at start & shifted behind runners to race in second half along rail. Awkwardly placed near heels at 900m & again at 700m when pace slowed mid-race. Just over 4L behind on cornering & could only maintain that margin. |
| 7 | 12 | KELMIMI WINS (C419) | H W Lai | B/TT | Improved position in middle stages when pace slackened to race on the leaders back from half-way. Peaked on effort soon after straightening before weakening out in final furlong. |
| 8 | 9 | HOT CHILI PEPPER (D286) | M Chadwick | B/TT | Bumped at start, steadied & raced rearward before being relegated to last near the 650m. Moved very wide to improve nearing the 400m when 6L behind. Cornered the widest before passing a few tiring runners late. |
| 9 | 4 | GOODMANSHIP (E208) | K Teetan | -- | Hampered at start before being steadied & taken back to race worse than midfield. Shifted out away from heels when awkwardly placed near 700m & relegated to 3rd last. Cornered over 5L behind, made no improvement in straight. |
| 10 | 11 | WINNER'S HEART (D044) | M F Poon | -- | Hampered at start before being left 3 deep without cover in midfield after first bend. Moved closer to lead when continuing wide as pace slowed near half-way. Emptied out soon after cornering before weakening sharply late. |
| 11 | 6 | TRAVEL GLORY (E170) | A Hamelin | -- | Bumped at start before racing in midfield away from rail. Travelled keenly when racing between runners near 700m when pace slowed. Came under hard riding at the 500m before weakening out poorly in straight. |
| 12 | 5 | LUCKY TREASURE (E012) | N Callan | -- | Crowded at start & steadied before running very wide when ungenerous at first bend. Improved position from last to midfield near 600m when continuing keen & wide. Weakened to long last in straight after doing a lot wrong. |
