| 1 | 11 | WINNING SMILE (CC177) | D Whyte | -- | 3-wide with cover early in midfield about 5Ls off speed, pressed on 4-wide no cover on circle to be 1L down in 4th but out 4-deep entering stretch, led at 300 M, pulled clear, comfortably. |
| 2 | 12 | X-SPEED (CC341) | C Munce | -- | 4-wide no cover at 1400 M, left 3-wide no cover at 1000 M when 3Ls back in 5th or so, 1L down in 2nd on straightening when 3-wide, had little hope with winner but stayed on best of rest for 2nd. |
| 3 | 2 | DRAGON STRIDE (CC370) | C W Wong | -- | Best away, restrained to be 2-wide and 2Ls down in 2nd at 1200 M, settled 4th or 5th from 800 M to home straight, plugged on fairly on fence to take 3rd final strides. |
| 4 | 8 | RAIN IN SPRING (CC320) | F Coetzee | -- | Keen halfway when 5Ls off pace 2-wide and worse than midfield, 3Ls back in mid-div on straightening, had every chance of a place but couldn't quicken up sufficiently. |
| 5 | 1 | ASSET PLAY (CC147) | G Mosse | CP | Led by 2Ls on fence at 1200 M, under pressure when joined for the lead shortly after turn for home, faded steadily once headed at 300 M. |
| 6 | 5 | ONLY YOU (CD210) | C Soumillon | -- | 3-wide no cover at 1100 M and pressed on to be 1L back in 2nd out 2-wide at 800 M, same turning for home, failed to kick and one-paced final 200 M. |
| 7 | 6 | TELECOM SUPERBOSS (CD180) | H W Lai | B- | Couldn't muster any early speed, always niggled along when 3-back on fence about 4Ls off pace in midfield or slightly worse, never dangerous in stretch. |
| 8 | 9 | GOLD DIGGER (CD101) | O Doleuze | CP | 2-wide and 3Ls back in 5th or 6th at 1100 M, slightly worse off turning for home when 3-wide, always outpaced. |
| 9 | 7 | GOOD TRIO (CD029) | C Brown | B | Always worse than midfield about 5Ls off the speed until the 600 M, similarly placed when held for a run on straightening, very sluggish once clear. |
| 10 | 3 | A PLUS FIT (CD013) | S Dye | B | Never better than 7Ls last in rear until home turn, ran on past a few very tired rivals late. |
| 11 | 13 | BALL OF FIRE (CD020) | H K Yim | V | Slowly away, in 2nd last about 7Ls off speed at 1000 M, 5Ls down in 12th on straightening, posed no kind of threat. |
| 12 | 14 | SPECTACULAR TIMES (CD059) | W M Lai | B-/PC1 | On fence about 6Ls off speed towards rear at 1000 M, not got much closer, always very one-paced. |
| 13 | 10 | GIDDY KIPPER (CB303) | M W Leung | B | Caught 3 and 4-wide without cover down backstretch when about 5Ls off the speed in 8th or 9th, 5-wide no cover on the circle and widest into stretch, soon capitulated. |
| 14 | 4 | SHARE THE FUN (CC111) | Y T Cheng | -- | Had the run of the race at 1200 M on fence 2Ls off pace in 3rd, all out to hold this position at 600 M, well beaten turning for home and soon detached and eased down. |
