| 1 | 1 | SPORTING CHAMP (BH020) | D Beadman | -- | Always there. Moved up to join leaders at Rock and gained clear advantage early straight. Just held on for narrow victory. |
| 2 | 6 | GAGNE VITE (BJ094) | K L Tsui | -- | Settled in 5th early. Made steady progress in back straight and was 4th, some 2L behind the leading trio rounding home bend. Ran on well final 200 M but was hanging in. |
| 3 | 3 | AUTO FOCUS (BH066) | C K Tse | -- | Took up running into stable bend and was disputing lead after Rock. Still in contention at 200 M but faded under pressure closing stages. |
