| 1 | 6 | ELEGANT KING PRAWN (CE265) | S Dye | -- | Best away, led on fence by 1L or a little less until 600 M out, a neck clear turning for home, headed by FREEBIRD 200 M out but fought back late to win on the nod. |
| 2 | 11 | FREEBIRD (CC319) | M W Leung | BO | Always in 2nd place about 1L off pace out 2-wide until the 600 M, a neck down in 2nd when hanging out in stretch, led at 200 M pole despite hanging in under pressure, collared by winner on the line. |
| 3 | 10 | CELEBRATION (CB029) | A Delpech | CP-/B1 | 3-wide with cover and 3Ls back in 6th at 1200 M, same margin down in 5th when straightening up 3-wide, kept on fairly for a place without seriously threatening quinella pair. |
| 4 | 8 | WINNING SUNSHINE (CB291) | C W Wong | -- | 6Ls off speed in 10th when 3-wide with cover at 1200 M, about 7Ls behind in 11th taking home turn, ran on well down centre of track to be nearest at finish. |
| 5 | 13 | VITALITY CHAMP (CD301) | D Whyte | -- | Over-raced a little and always 3-wide no cover about 2Ls off leader in 3rd until home turn, had every chance to place but failed to quicken and weakened out of money final 100 M. |
| 6 | 4 | DR MORE (BV164) | D Dunn | B | About 3Ls or 4Ls off pace 3-back on fence in midfield from 1200 M to home turn, plugged on at the same pace thereafter. |
| 7 | 2 | STRONG SUN (CB305) | O Doleuze | TT | Slowly away, got back 6Ls down in 12th on fence at 1200 M, 4Ls down in mid-pack off final bend, stayed on only evenly. |
| 8 | 5 | CALIFORNIA LUCK (CG215) | B Prebble | TT | Box run travelling well on fence 2Ls off speed in 3rd or 4th until home turn, failed to quicken up. |
| 9 | 1 | BOOMING CITY (CE325) | C Munce | B1 | Slowly away, in 9th place 5Ls off the pace and 2-wide at 1200 M, 5Ls down in 10th and 3-wide taking home turn, made no headway. (Blood in trachea.) |
| 10 | 14 | MAGIC TOUCH (CB394) | H W Lai | P- | 2-wide and 6Ls off speed in 11th at 1200 M, niggled along one from rear 700 M out, 8Ls down and struggling at top of homestretch, very one-paced. |
| 11 | 9 | CASH IN (CG138) | H K Yim | -- | Dropped from wide gate to the rear, 8Ls last at 1000 M and no closer turning for home, never a factor. |
| 12 | 7 | TIGER RIDGE (CD084) | W M Lai | TT | Well placed 2-wide and 3Ls off speed in 5th at 1200 M, under pressure to maintain prominent position at 600 M, faded out steadily from top of home straight. |
| 13 | 12 | FLYING BISHOP (CA296) | W C Marwing | B | Caught 4-wide no cover until the 900 M when 5Ls off speed in 9th or so, got in 3-wide on circle and still 5Ls down in same position taking home turn, soon weakened. (Irregular heart and blood in trachea.) |
| 14 | 3 | WINNING BLISS (CG156) | G Mosse | B | Very slowly away, 8Ls off speed in rear at 1200 M, made some slight improvement at 800 M before really struggling on the circle and dropping out quickly, unacceptable performance. |
