| 1 | 11 | TELECOM EMPEROR (CH137) | M Du Plessis | B/TT | Settled in 4th position, 1 off with cover. Lifted well in the final stages to finish over the top of its rivals. |
| 2 | 8 | DIAGHILEV (CH241) | E Saint-Martin | B/TT | Couldn't match the early speed and settled behind midfield on the rails. Struck traffic problems in the straight and was obliged to alter course on a couple of occasions, went to the wire strongly. |
| 3 | 7 | NOT QUITE PERFECT (CG254) | D Whyte | TT | From a wide barrier took up a midfield position on the fence. Ran on well and looked the likely winner only to be collared close to the line. |
| 4 | 9 | PERFECT ATHLETE (CG276) | C W Wong | TT | Stalked the leader along the fence. Hit the lead early in the straight and had every chance tiring on its run short of the post. |
| 5 | 3 | HEADINGLEY (CH264) | K T Yeung | B/TT | Raced behind midfield, 2-wide with cover. Peeled out turning for home and ran on smartly over the latter stages. |
| 6 | 1 | ACTIVE VALOUR (CG045) | F Coetzee | -- | Travelled with cover early in a midfield position, 3 deep. Kept on well in the straight despite racing wide and without cover after the 800 M. |
| 7 | 5 | AURELIAN (CC025) | Y T Cheng | B | From an outside gate was taken back to settle near the tail of the field. Closed off fairly. |
| 8 | 14 | MUTUAL GAIN (CE275) | M W Leung | B | Raced in midfield the fence. Ranged up to challenge early in the straight but failed to sustain effort late. |
| 9 | 4 | SUPER SPECIAL (CE225) | O Doleuze | H/TT | Travelled in 2nd last position some distance off the leaders made fair ground out wide in the straight before peaking on its run short of the line. |
| 10 | 6 | ABLE STANDARD (CG043) | C K Tong | B/TT | Parked outside the leader, was a beaten horse turning inside the furlong. |
| 11 | 2 | TELEWIN (CJ010) | P H Lo | XB/TT | Raced in last position, shifted out wide in the straight but made no impression. |
| 12 | 13 | WINNING CHAMP (CE233) | S K Sit | -- | Raced 3-wide early and was pressed to go forward to the lead. Quickly surrendered near the 400 M and finished well back. |
| 13 | 12 | CAPABEL (CD195) | W M Lai | -- | Travelled near the rear of the field. Never likely. |
| 14 | 10 | GENERAL SPEEDEE (CG193) | Z Purton | B-/TT | Camped midfield, 1 off with cover, was checked near the 800 M and lost its position. Commenced to give ground after the 200 M. |
