| 1 | 3 | EMBRACES (J276) | C L Chau | TT | Taken back to near the rear 8Ls off the pace, waited with until 300M then closed off the race strongly to get up close home. Impressive win. |
| 2 | 4 | STAR CONTACT (E472) | B Thompson | B/TT | Settled ahead of midfield, within touching distance from leaders home turn, ran on well and challenged for the lead mid-straight, briefly in front 50M but no match for winner late. |
| 3 | 7 | PRESTIGE ALWAYS (J300) | K C Leung | B/TT | Began well, caught wide early stages then strode forward to be tracking leader, took over on straightening, fought well to 100M before conceding to first two late stages. |
| 4 | 1 | SKY TRUST (J161) | H Bowman | H/TT | Switched off to last 10Ls off the pace, held up near 200M when making headway, switched out and closed off well for DH 4th. (Jockey suspended for failing to ride out to the satisfaction of the Stewards.) |
| 4 | 11 | SUPER UNICORN (H481) | M F Poon | B1/TT | Raced keenly early stages in a midfield position along the fence, finished off well enough final 300M but always held by first few. |
| 6 | 6 | KING OF FIGHTERS (K174) | Z Purton | TT | Jumped only fairly, restrained in a position behind midfield, pushed along 400M before running on moderately towards the finish. |
| 7 | 5 | DRAGON JOY (J278) | J Orman | SR-/TT | Stayed close enough to leaders throughout, in 5th spot from 800M, had his chance but ran home only fairly. |
| 8 | 9 | STURDY RUBY (H207) | A Badel | TT | Settled behind midfield along the fence, 6Ls to make up 400M but gave limited response only. Never a threat to leaders. (No Vet findings.) |
| 9 | 2 | A AMERIC TE SPECSO (H037) | A Atzeni | B | Settled back in the field 8-9Ls off the pace, little change in position home turn, had big task in hand but ran home only fairly. (Jockey : didn't appreciate racing between horses in home straight.) |
| 10 | 10 | GOOD LUCK BABE (K016) | Y L Chung | XB/TT | Sent forward to lead as expected, set good pace first 800M, soon headed on straightening, weakened when placed under pressure. |
| 11 | 12 | HAROLD WIN (J280) | M L Yeung | V/XB | From draw 1 moved up to track leader on inside, pace fast first 800M, found nothing when asked on straightening. (Jockey : didn't run out a strong 1650M / No Vet findings.) |
| 12 | 8 | KOLACHI (J395) | M Chadwick | -- | Restrained in mid-division, raced keenly in the early stages, had nothing to offer turning home, weakened to last. |
