| 1 | 4 | SYDNEY EXPRESS (CG052) | O Doleuze | B2 | 6Ls off pace and worse than midfield at 1200 M, headway with cover from 600 M to be 2Ls back in 4th to home turn, led 150 M out and quickened clear nicely. |
| 2 | 3 | PERFECT FEELING (CH035) | D Whyte | TT | Slow break, tracked winner in 9th about 7Ls behind early speed, improved from 600 M to home straight when 3Ls back in mid-division, stayed on well for 2nd but had little hope with winner. |
| 3 | 6 | LIAOBUQI (CE018) | Y T Cheng | H/TT | Midfield about 5Ls off pace until halfway, pressed on out wider to dispute lead from 600 M and a neck clear at top of home straight, headed 150 M out but comfortably held a place. |
| 4 | 5 | GALLANT FALCON (CD194) | K T Yeung | B/TT | 10Ls last at 1000 M, 6Ls down in 11th turning for home, made some nice late ground out wider to be nearest at finish. |
| 5 | 1 | FLYING BISHOP (CA296) | C K Tong | TT | Soon settled into 3rd place, on fence 4Ls behind strong pace at 1000 M, over 2Ls back in 5th off final turn, stayed on at the same pace only. |
| 6 | 12 | SOLAR (CC198) | M Nunes | B | In 10th place about 8Ls off pace at 1000 M, ridden along to take closer order entering home straight, never likely to place. |
| 7 | 7 | SEASONS TREASURE (CB310) | P H Lo | P | 3-back on fence about 5Ls off pace in midfield at 1000 M, much the same before home turn, kept on at the same pace without threatening. |
| 8 | 9 | FRIENDSHIP (CE066) | C W Wong | -- | Kicked up to hold and early lead by 1L at 1200 M, joined at the 600 M and headed at top of homestretch, beaten 200 M out and faded. |
| 9 | 11 | KINGSTON WINNER (CC024) | W M Lai | B | Nice early dash out wide but couldn't lead, settled 1L back in 2nd from 1000 M to 600 M, 2Ls back in 3rd off final bend, faded out from over 200 M out. |
| 10 | 8 | FREEBIRD (CC319) | F Coetzee | CP | Tended to lay out, 2-wide and 4Ls back in 4th at 1000 M, no closer taking final turn in 7th, one-paced. |
| 10 | 10 | UNIQUE SPEED (CG134) | K L Chui | V | Never travelled very well, well back in 10th at 1200 M, under pressure 7Ls off pace in rear at 600 M, never got much closer. |
| 12 | 2 | LUCKY MONEY (CE159) | B Prebble | TT | Reminders early on when 6Ls off pace 1300 M out, 4Ls back in midfield until home turn, always outpaced in the homestretch. |
