Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 5 | BRILLIANT ONE (CG212) | D Whyte | -- | Jumped well, settled nicely in mid-division with cover about 3Ls back, cruising rounding the bend, gradually improved on the inside under hands and heels, hit front 100 M, ran on to score comfortably. |
| 2 | 10 | SUPER GOAL MASTER (CG220) | Z Purton | B/TT | Away in line, didn't have much early speed and assumed a spot towards the rear, 4 to 5Ls to make up on leader as they turned, surged after bumping into clear 250 M out, made good ground to take 2nd. |
| 3 | 11 | TREASURE RAIDERS (CE049) | M Du Plessis | -- | Taken back from a wide barrier, soon ended up in rear racing detached, urged along on the turn, made a strong run down the centre of course to finish closest at the line. |
| 4 | 12 | GALACTIC TACTIC (CH095) | C K Tong | -- | Even jump, took up spot just off pace on rails 2Ls back, had a smooth run to bend, made even progress in the straight but unable to match the first three. |
| 5 | 3 | LUCKY WINNER (CE124) | E Saint-Martin | TT | Broke nicely, soon took up running on rails at a steady tempo, travelled comfortably on turning, attempted to make all but was headed 100 M out, weakened over the concluding stages. |
| 6 | 6 | MY LUCK (CE256) | W M Lai | XB | Began well, positioned 2-wide in midfield 2Ls back, had good trail to bend, checked at crucial stage near 300 M, regathered and made up ground inside final 200 M. |
| 7 | 8 | LUCKY FRUIT (CG026) | Y T Cheng | B | Swiftly away, pressed on to race 3 wide alongside leaders without cover. Did work in run, unable to pick up under pressure, ran home one-paced. |
| 8 | 4 | WIN-A-LOT (CJ124) | O Doleuze | XB | Began awkwardly, dropped out next to last 5Ls off pace, came wide on turning, made little in home straight passing tired runners only. |
| 9 | 7 | SUNSHINE BOY (CJ281) | C W Wong | -- | Standard beginning, took up rail position in midfield 4Ls behind leader, had relatively quiet time throughout, kept to inside on straightening but unable to quicken up, needed the experience. |
| 10 | 1 | CLASSIC NAVIGATOR (CD330) | P H Lo | TT | Good break, took up a prominent role, travelled within a length of leader at a moderate tempo, unable to go with them early in straight, folded 200 M out and dropped off quickly over the concluding stages. |
| 11 | 2 | GRAND COMMANDS (CD300) | K L Chui | SR/TT | Reasonable jump, pressed on to hold a midfield spot 4Ls back 3-wide, under pressure entering home straight, never able to challenge, simply plugged home last 200 M. |
| 12 | 9 | GAUCHO (CE033) | K T Yeung | TT | Resented being restrained and difficult to settle in early stages, travelled in mid-division 4 wide and without cover, over-raced in back straight, struggled on turning, dropped out early in straight. (Jockey's tactics questioned.) |
