Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 2 | HANDSOME BO BO (B119) | H Bowman | TT | Crowded after start & consequently got back to race second last away. Continued well back on straightening behind fast leaders before finishing very strongly between runners in last furlong to steal lead in final few strides. |
| 2 | 5 | PING HAI GALAXY (C377) | K Teetan | -- | Began well but was crossed & got a nice position fourth along the rail. Had clear running to the inside of the leader on straightening, moved to lead at 125m before being caught in the shadows of the post, just beaten. |
| 3 | 10 | POWER KOEPP (E301) | S De Sousa | E | Drifted back after the start & raced second last along rail. Continued well back on straightening, stayed along the rail when asked for full effort, closed off very strongly between runners in last 100m & just missed second. |
| 4 | 7 | ASTROLOGER (G102) | K C Leung | SR | Was probably the slowest to begin but mustered to race in midfield away from the rail. Eased three wide just before cornering before closing off strongly down the outside to only be beaten 1.5L in an eye-catching effort. |
| 5 | 8 | STREET SCREAM (D234) | C Y Ho | B/H/TT | Completely outpaced after start, became detached & under the whip in back straight. Was 10L behind entering last section, was making strong late ground along rail before being badly blocked for room & not tested final 100m. |
| 6 | 1 | WHIZZ KID (E392) | Z Purton | B/TT | Bumped at start before being hard ridden & shared lead when going very fast when racing outside the horse on the rail. Continued to apply pressure when sharing lead around bend, peaked on run at 200m & folded up late after doing too much. |
| 7 | 4 | HARMONY AND RICH (D110) | Y L Chung | -- | Raced three wide outside leaders early before being steadied passing 650m & racing third away from rail. Was just over 2L from the lead on straightening, battled on ok until about the 100m mark & was overtaken late. |
| 8 | 3 | KEEP YOU WARM (D272) | L Hewitson | B/XB | Raced in midfield along the rail throughout. Was niggled along from about 550m, straightened about 5L from the lead but finished off only one paced & was only beaten 3L in a race where leaders came back to challengers near to line. |
| 9 | 9 | CLASSIC UNICORN (C343) | H N Wong | P/TT | Showed customary early speed but was challenged in the lead when the first two went too fast in middle stages & raced about 2L clear of third. Continued in lead until being headed at 125m, weakened quickly late. |
| 10 | 6 | WE THE SOUTH (D149) | V Borges | H/XB | Raced 4 wide outside leaders early before steadying passing 700m & racing in midfield away from the rail. Was 4.5L from lead on turn but couldn't make any headway & weakened to last, beaten a similar margin (lame next day). |
