Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 14 | FOREST STAR (CJ167) | M Chadwick | TT | Behind midfield, raced wide in the early and middle stages, had plenty to do turning for home but quickened impressively to wear down his rivals 50 M from home. |
| 2 | 12 | TOUCH LUCKY (CH193) | K C Leung | XB/B2/TT | Allowed to stride to the front from a wide barrier but was unable to cross before the turn and covered extra ground, delivered a strong challenge inside 350 M, came close to win and only just failed. |
| 3 | 4 | AASHIQ (CK175) | D Whyte | -- | Away well enough, tracked leaders but proved difficult to settle in early stages, showed a smart turn of foot to sweep into the lead near 300 M, battled gamely but couldn't fend off the first two late on. |
| 4 | 7 | SAPELLI (CK191) | F Coetzee | B1 | Swiftly taken to the front and held the inside running, travelled sweetly throughout, kept on well and displayed a likeable attitude when the race got serious. Beaten by more experienced rivals. |
| 5 | 11 | LOYAL ARMY (CJ237) | W C Marwing | B-/BO1 | Jumped well, restrained to midfield for cover but was never far off the pace, squeezed his way out near 400 M, threatened with a strong run but could not sustain his effort inside final 100 M. |
| 6 | 3 | COSMO SUCCESSOR (CH118) | T H So | -- | Quickly into stride and was soon in the front rank, emerged as the race leader turning in, headed near 300 M, kept giving before weakening inside the final 100 M. |
| 7 | 8 | SPARKLING (CK149) | D Beadman | -- | Average jump, settled behind midfield along the fence, switched outside for his run passing 400 M, took time to gather but was able to make some headway inside 200 M. |
| 8 | 5 | EXCELLENT ELITE (CJ316) | J Winks | TT1 | In midfield 3Ls back, 2-wide with cover turning in, ran on only fairly when asked for his effort, flattened inside 200 M. |
| 9 | 9 | BLESS US ALL (CK086) | B Doyle | XB | Taken back on jumping, stayed in a rearward position 6Ls off the pace and was a shade keen in middle stages, taken very wide on straightening and was very one-paced in its finish. |
| 10 | 1 | WIND KNIGHT (CJ326) | C K Tong | SR | Urged along to hold a 3-wide position in midfield, shuffled back turning in, taken wide on straightening and found little off the bridle. |
| 11 | 10 | FLORAL IMAGE (CK027) | Y T Cheng | TT | In the front rank but unable to cross, 3-wide without cover turning for home, weakened inside 300 M, no extra in the closing stages. |
| 12 | 2 | BERNINI (CJ168) | P H Lo | -- | Slow to begin, settled in 2nd last about 6 to 7Ls behind leader, struggled for pace turning in and could not find anything when asked in straight. |
| 13 | 13 | METRO RIDER (CJ264) | H W Lai | P-/XB/H1 | Taken back on jumping from a wide barrier, in rear throughout and made a wide turn for home, never picked up in straight. Another disappointing effort. |
| 14 | 6 | MAGIC PRACTITIONER (CK125) | O Doleuze | -- | Held a midfield position along the rails, soon weakened on straightening and gave ground rapidly from 350 M. |
