Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 5 | PLAN B (CJ123) | J Victoire | TT | Raced in midfield down the back but at least 3-wide no cover for the duration, 4-wide turning for home, kept on well to lead about 50 M out, big win. |
| 2 | 10 | TOWKAY FLYER (CJ036) | B Prebble | TT1 | Pressed on and led by a neck at first, crossed to lead by 1L on fence at 500 M, grabbed by the winner 50 M out but held 2nd okay. |
| 3 | 12 | FLY HIGH (CH126) | H W Lai | B | 3-back along the rails about 4Ls off speed in midfield at the 600 M, finished off strongly to nick a place close home. |
| 4 | 6 | WINDICATOR RETURNS (CJ191) | O Doleuze | H-/B1 | 3-wide no cover at first, 1L down in 2nd from the 600 M to final bend, had his chance and tipped out of the frame close home. |
| 5 | 3 | KINDACROSS (CG041) | C Soumillon | XB/TT | Awkward break and taken back from wide gate, 7Ls last taking the final bend, ran on well to be nearest at the finish. (Jockey warned.) |
| 6 | 4 | MR COOL (CD071) | C K Tong | B/TT | Midfield or better about 2Ls off speed until home straight, one-paced to conclude and no excuses. |
| 7 | 2 | CLASSIC NAVIGATOR (CD330) | W M Lai | TT | 2-wide and 4Ls back in 8th or so until straightening, held up from 200 M to 100 M but wasn't posing a threat to principals anyway. |
| 8 | 11 | YUE LU TREASURE (CJ184) | C W Wong | -- | Slowly away, about 6Ls off pace and one from rear at halfway, recovering some ground when checked 200 M out, didn't trouble those ahead. |
| 9 | 1 | EASY (CG095) | Y T Cheng | TT- | Midfield or better between 2Ls and 3Ls from the speed, 3-wide turning for home and with place prospects, couldn't quicken up. |
| 10 | 8 | DESTINY'S CHILD (CK156) | K C Leung | -- | Box-seated on fence in 4th or 5th about 2Ls from the pace until home straight, soon outpaced. |
| 11 | 7 | LUCIA (CH229) | M Du Plessis | B/XB | Slowest out and raced very greenly and ungenerously down the back straight and bumped the rail 600 M out, offered little in the straight. (See Racing Incidents.) |
| 12 | 9 | FORTUNE SPIRIT (CK102) | Z Purton | -- | Without early pace, rearward and at least 5Ls from the front until straightening for home, ceded further ground. |
