Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 9 | TERRIFIC BRETHREN (CH298) | K L Chui | TT | First to hit ground, pressed on early and used a bit wide to get to outside leader, challenged leader on bend, took over passing 300 M, fought strongly in straight to defy challengers for a solid win. |
| 2 | 7 | TOWKAY FLYER (CJ036) | G Mosse | -- | Out smartly, went forward to race outside a leader, elected for a 1 out 1 back trail, travelled on bridle a little keen on circle, tracked winner turning and threw down challenge. Battled length of straight coming up short late. |
| 3 | 12 | MOONGLOW (CG008) | D Beadman | B/XB/TT | Allowed to settle in midfield 4Ls away from an awkward alley, suited by tempo and closer to top end than usual, eased into clear on turning, made good ground down outside to snare a place. |
| 4 | 3 | CHINA LUJIA (CJ088) | B Prebble | XB | Not a great deal of early pace and ended up 4Ls back on rails in midfield, had a soft trip in mid-section, closed on turning and held up in traffic for most of straight seeing no daylight in run to line. |
| 5 | 1 | RAINBOW OASIS (CH165) | D Whyte | B | Began with them but was slow to muster, ended up 3 wide in midfield, did share of work 3 to 4Ls back, kept coming in straight and produced a determined finish to be not far away on line. (Blood in trachea.) |
| 6 | 10 | AMAZING VENTURE (CJ039) | F Coetzee | -- | No pace from gates, raced 7Ls back on rails, aided by pace in mid-section, saved ground on bend, still well back on turning, taken to outside in straight and made solid progress from impossible spot. |
| 7 | 4 | LUCKY RED (CJ059) | W M Lai | -- | Well enough to begin, raced keenly 3Ls back in running line, same margin back on turning, lacked another gear in straight but kept on soundly in run to line. |
| 8 | 11 | FLYING KENNY (CC244) | M W Leung | V | Out in line, drifted back when didn't have early pace, raced 6 to 7Ls back in 2 wide line, still well back to bend, made some minor headway in the straight but never really threatened. |
| 9 | 2 | SUPER MUSIC (CG248) | O Doleuze | TT | Out well, took a trail behind leader, had a fair run with reasonable pace on, bumped rail at 700 M, still right there on turning, lost run at 200 M and didn't finish off thereafter. |
| 10 | 14 | SILLY BOY (CC094) | M Nunes | B/TT | Displayed usual pace and took up running, kept pace even throughout with pressure from outside horse, still challenged on bend, headed on turning and found little when asked to quicken, dropped out easily. |
| 11 | 6 | TREMENDOUS PLUS (CG275) | S K Sit | B- | Awkwardly away and lost ground to be soon near rear, raced 7 to 8Ls back in running line, still same margin back on turning in, made no impression in straight. |
| 12 | 5 | PERFECT MATCH (CJ072) | A Delpech | -- | Slow into stride, ended up 8 to 9Ls off pace at rear, appeared green in mid-section, still same margin down on turning, made little impression in run to line. |
| 13 | 8 | HORSE POWER (CH079) | C W Wong | -- | Began awkwardly and lost ground, raced 5 to 6Ls back on rails, enjoyed a softer run in mid-section, no extra on turning and faded out of it. |
