Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 10 | KINGSTON WINNER (CC024) | K S Yu | B | Had the run of the race, about 2Ls off pace on fence in 3rd until home turn when going well, picked up adequately to lead over 50 M out, ran on. |
| 2 | 8 | DRAGON AND GOLD (CD244) | Y T Cheng | -- | Pestered for the lead by free-running JADE DANCER, a neck clear on fence off final turn and over 1L ahead at 200 M, overhauled over 50 M out, held on for 2nd. |
| 3 | 4 | THE WORLD OF LOVE (CC066) | O Doleuze | CP | With cover in midfield about 3Ls or 4Ls off pace until the home turn, given every hope to win but could only stay on to be nearest at finish for a place. |
| 4 | 2 | AMO (CB125) | A Delpech | -- | Pushed along on fence when 5Ls back in 9th at 1000 M, closer turning for home but short of running room until the 200 M, ran on well late, unlucky not to place. |
| 5 | 3 | MR COOL (CD071) | C K Tong | B/TT | Settled about 8th place out 2 and 3-wide and mostly with cover, 5Ls off pace at 800 M, plenty to do turning for home but ran on well late, nearest at finish. |
| 6 | 5 | TOP TOP LIGHT (CG182) | B Prebble | TT | Awkward break, had a nice spot 2-wide about 2Ls or so in about 4th until home turn, had every chance to at least place but couldn't quicken up. |
| 7 | 7 | SOLAR MIGHTY (CH124) | G Mosse | B1/TT | Slowly away, raced too freely throwing head around in 10th when 7Ls off pace early on, wasn't any closer on straightening, made some minor late ground out wide. |
| 8 | 1 | ENGINEERING WONDER (CB300) | D Whyte | XB | 3-back on fence about 3Ls back in 8th at the 800 M, a little closer taking home bend but held up until the 200 M, didn't recover. |
| 9 | 12 | MY FAITH (CH054) | M W Leung | CP-/B1 | Never troubled principals, on fence about 7Ls back towards rear at the 800 M, made some minor late headway in the homestretch, never nearer. |
| 10 | 9 | TIGER RIDGE (CD084) | W M Lai | B/TT | 3-wide without cover throughout, close-up about 1L down in 3rd at the 600 M, 4-wide off final turn and faded markedly through final stages. |
| 11 | 6 | PRESENT TREASURE (CC077) | K L Chui | P/H/TT | Switched inside from wide gate to be 10Ls last at the 1000 M, 8Ls last turning for home, only passed one very tired rival on the run-in. |
| 12 | 11 | JADE DANCER (CE170) | F Coetzee | -- | Over-raced when vying for the early lead, a neck down in 2nd off the home turn, soon capitulated. |
