Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 1 | HARRY HARRY (CD019) | B Prebble | XB | Went forward early, settled in 4th along the fence in early stages before switching out to take closer order near 700 M, responded well to hit front 250 M and kept on determinedly to fend off the persistent runner-up. |
| 2 | 6 | SERIOUS PLAY (CC003) | H W Lai | B | Travelled well in a position better than midfield, drifted away from the fence to challenge near 400 M mark, had 1.5L to make up on the eventual winner as they turned in, stayed on well inside 150 M to go down by a diminishing neck. |
| 3 | 11 | CALL ME CULLEN (CH113) | C W Wong | B/TT | Began well but restrained back to mid-division, had a relaxed run against the rail, plugged on ok inside 300 M but couldn't quite get on terms with the first two. |
| 4 | 9 | DRAGON BOY (CJ204) | D Beadman | -- | Slow to begin, raced behind midfield 6Ls back, commenced his run round the outside of field from 500 M, kept on ok for a non threatening 4th. |
| 5 | 12 | SO NICE (CG110) | M W Leung | XB | Broke well from the inside draw and tracked leader one back, had the help of the fence but inclined to hang out, into clear 250 M but ran on very one-paced. |
| 6 | 5 | KING OF TURF (CJ102) | M L Yeung | H/TT | Urged to a midfield position early but was wide on the 1st turn, slotted in to be 2-wide down the back straight, made up some late headway but never threatened to get involved. |
| 7 | 10 | CENTENNIAL SMILE (CG165) | M Du Plessis | B | Drifted back to a rearward position 8Ls behind leader, moved closer on turning but didn't find much passing 300 M. Never likely. |
| 8 | 2 | EMBRACES (CH175) | O Doleuze | B | Taken back on jumping and raced as the back-marker 10Ls off the pace in middle stages, taken wide for a run on straightening but picked up only fairly from off the pace. Never threatened. |
| 9 | 7 | MULTI-WIN SPIRIT (CG137) | W C Marwing | XB/TT | Went forward in the early stages, settled handily in 3rd before moving up to race alongside leader passing 500 M, unable to keep on and was gradually outpaced from 250 M. (Jockey questioned.) |
| 10 | 8 | TOUCH MORE (CJ180) | C K Tong | CP/TT | Shaken up early to obtain a spot ahead of mid-division, under pressure to hold his position from 600 M and found very little inside 300 M. (Jockey questioned.) |
| 11 | 3 | COULDN'T CARE LESS (CD009) | Z Purton | -- | In a rearward position along the fence, 6-7Ls down passing 400 M and never picked up on straightening. |
| 12 | 4 | ZERO GRAVITY (CH037) | K L Chui | TT | Began awkwardly from the outside barrier, went forward and crossed to lead passing 1200 M, set a steady tempo but was taken on for the lead making the home turn, faded away from 300 M. (Blood in trachea.) |
