Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 10 | GREEN BIRDIE (CH245) | O Doleuze | -- | Average break, raced behind midfield 6Ls off the pace, had a comfortable trip with cover, held up early in straight, powered home strongly once cleared at 300 M, cut down rivals 50 M out to win with something to spare. |
| 2 | 4 | DOWN TOWN (CG054) | C W Wong | TT | Jumped fairly, settled in a spot better than midfield 3Ls behind leader, travelled well throughout, kicked home 400 M, stuck to task really well to take 2nd on the line but was no match to the winner. |
| 3 | 13 | TCHAIKOVSKY (CE030) | M Du Plessis | -- | Fast into stride, taken forward as expected, settled one out one back as they turned, worked from 300 M, hit front briefly before overhauled 100 M out. A game performance. |
| 4 | 9 | DIM SUM (CH226) | Z Purton | CP | Even break, assumed a midfield spot 4 to 5Ls back, ran wide throughout the trip, fought on under pressure on straightening and made even progress to the line. |
| 5 | 2 | ENTHUSED (CH303) | D Whyte | -- | Began with them, positioned 3Ls behind leader travelling 3 wide without cover, closed enough turning in, lacked usual finish and just ran on to take 5th. |
| 5 | 5 | MEDIC POWER (CG303) | B Prebble | TT1 | Began awkwardly, taken back towards the rear on fence 6Ls back, slightly held up early in straight, picked up OK when cleared 300 M out, shifted out in run to line but nevertheless a respectable performance after a long absence. |
| 7 | 7 | FRIENDLY GAINS (CG300) | H W Lai | -- | Quickly away from an inside alley, rolled forward to position just behind leader, had difficulty obtaining clear running on straightening, not cleared until 250 M, kept on OK without threatening. |
| 8 | 1 | SUNNY POWER (CG203) | E Saint-Martin | -- | Slightly slow out, assumed a spot in mid-division 3 to 4Ls off pace with cover, travelled nicely on bend but ran into traffic on straightening, checked severely near 250 M and as a result not ridden out to the end of the race. |
| 9 | 11 | SUPERIOR UNIT (CJ045) | K L Chui | CP/TT | Quickly into stride, urged to take up running on fence at a steady tempo, held slight advantage turning in, soon levelled, unable to keep up and faded inside 200 M. |
| 10 | 8 | YELLOW DIAMOND (CD246) | C K Tong | B | Amongst the first few to jump but gradually shuffled back to last, 7Ls to make up coming out of the bend, challenged down the wide outside but couldn't quicken, ran home one-paced. |
| 11 | 3 | SCINTILLATION (CC228) | G Mosse | XB/H | Checked shortly after start, taken to rails racing in mid-division about 4Ls back, difficult to settle in middle stages, kept to inside on straight but was badly held up, not tested as a result. |
| 12 | 12 | NIGHTLIGN (CJ145) | Y T Cheng | -- | One of the first to jump, stayed close to the pace and never far off the leader, had every chance in straight but found little under pressure, dropped out quickly passing 200 M. |
| 13 | 14 | ALWAYS GIGGLE (CG086) | K T Yeung | B2 | Away with them, drifted back to a rearward position 6Ls behind leader, 2 wide and struggling on turning in, didn't find and weakened last 200 M. |
| 14 | 6 | ABLE PRINCE (CC348) | D Beadman | CP/TT | Purposely taken back from a wide barrier, had a quiet trip in the rear along the fence, shifted out to challenge in straight but was not able to pick up, finished tailed off. (Jockey's tactics questioned.) |
