| 1 | 11 | STARSHIP EIGHTY (H022) | K Teetan | PC/TT | Raced in midfield along the rail for the majority. Was just over 2L from the lead entering last section, stayed along the rail, burst through to take lead at the 175m before going on to win by 1.75L but being eased near line. |
| 2 | 13 | ANGELS HUNTER (G193) | M Chadwick | V-/B2/TT | Jumped only fairly & raced worse than midfield along the rail. Came off the rail near the 500m, made ground between runner's near the 250m, improved to second near the 100m mark & held that place to line. |
| 3 | 1 | DRAGON DELIGHT (G395) | E C W Wong | B- | Pushed forward, raced in third place after start before continuing between runners in midfield in the middle stages. Shifted out into clear running on straightening when just under 3L from lead, closed well to just miss 2nd. |
| 4 | 4 | UNITED ENDEAVORS (G030) | M L Yeung | H/TT | Raced in midfield between runners throughout. Had clear running on straightening, entered last section just under 4L from lead, closed off well down the outside in final stages to be just behind second. |
| 5 | 3 | BOOM ALLIANCE (G220) | L Ferraris | SR/XB/TT | Jumped awkwardly & lost ground, consequently racing rearward. Stayed nearer the rail on straightening when 4.5L from the lead before making some late ground to finish a non-threatening fifth. |
| 6 | 10 | PRECISION GOAL (H016) | C L Chau | TT | Pushed forward to lead before crossing to the rail near the 1000m when leading. Continued in the lead before being joined & headed by the winner near the 175m & then weakening a few lengths late. |
| 7 | 2 | SUPER CONTENTED (H251) | K De Melo | TT | Jumped fairly, bumped & unbalanced soon after & consequently raced rearward. Continued to gallop between runners around bend. Shifted inwards at 400m to get clear, was again held up near 300m, got clear late but some excuse. |
| 8 | 7 | BAEBAE TSOI (E116) | A Hamelin | CP2/TT | Raced prominently, crossed by the leading pair near the 1000m & raced on the leaders back thereafter. Had no clear run from the 400m until the 300m when only a length from the lead before finishing pretty weakly in the last furlong. |
| 9 | 9 | BRILLIANT PIONEER (G255) | L Hewitson | PC1/TT2 | Pushed forward to race outside the leader. Continued close to the lead until emptying at the 200m & weakening out in last furlong. |
| 10 | 8 | ARTHUR'S KINGDOM (E194) | H T Mo | XB-/H/TT | Raced four wide without cover in midfield after start before improving position approaching the 1000m & getting up to be three wide outside the leaders from the 750m. Was beaten early in straight & weakened in last 250m. |
| 11 | 5 | MASTER OF LUCK (G276) | C Y Ho | B/TT | Raced wide with cover in midfield after the start before becoming keen & throwing head from the 1000m mark before eventually becoming more relaxed passing 600m. Was wide on straightening before failing to run on in straight. |
| 12 | 6 | PRESIDENT'S CHOICE (D038) | Z Purton | -- | Bumped after the start before drifting back to race worse than midfield when three wide with cover. Shifted outwards at 500m, was the second widest runner on straightening when 6L behind before doing nothing in straight. |
| 13 | 14 | HANG'S CHOICE (E311) | A Atzeni | B/TT | Drifted back after start & raced rearward. Continued last when galloping wide with cover. Shifted wider passing 600m, forced very wide from 550m, was widest on straightening when 6L behind but failed to improve in straight. |
| 14 | 12 | DEVIL AND GOLD (G443) | Y L Chung | -- | Raced four wide early before being hard ridden to improve. Got 1,1 momentarily passing 900m, was forced wide again around the bend, began losing ground from the 550m, hung out on straightening before weakening to long last. |
