| 1 | 12 | VANQUISH DELIGHT (CJ257) | M L Yeung | B-/H/TT1 | Overcame a wide draw and managed to slot into a 2-wide position in midfield, travelled nicely to bend and driven from 400 M, kept on strongly to lead entering 100 M and held off the 2nd comfortably. |
| 2 | 3 | REAL SPECIAL (CH320) | D Beadman | B | Raced towards the rear and not hurried in early stages, progressed to midfield over the final turn, ran on well to go 2nd 100 M from home. |
| 3 | 1 | BILLION (CH316) | Y T Cheng | -- | Well enough away, stalked leader one back before taking over near 550 M, looked the winner in early straight but had no answer to the winner final 100 M. |
| 4 | 10 | FLORAL NIRVANA (CH232) | Z Purton | CP/XB/TT | Broke well then dropped back to 7th in mid-pack, 3-wide swinging for home, made steady headway final 300 M but offered little threat to the first two. |
| 5 | 6 | LHOJONG (CG281) | W C Marwing | B2 | Towards the rear along the inside fence, shuffled back to last approaching home turn, effort from 500 M, took a while to muster before finishing off the race strongly inside 200 M. |
| 6 | 5 | MAN IN THE MIRROR (CH058) | D Whyte | -- | Patiently held up towards the back, crept closer passing the Rock and swung widest into straight, made even progress final 300 M but inclined to lay in and required corrective measures from the jockey. |
| 7 | 9 | SLEEP WELL (CK036) | O Doleuze | B/TT | Switched off the back and settled over 10Ls behind leader, advanced 3-wide passing 700 M, stayed on without reaching leaders. |
| 8 | 8 | NEW CHAPTER (CH314) | K C Leung | B | Held a midfield position and saved ground along the fence, 4Ls behind leader turning for home, steadied and had to shift ground near 150 M then finished off the race mildly. (Jockey reported his mount hanging in throughout the race.) |
| 9 | 7 | FORTUNE WINNER (CK315) | C K Tong | -- | Made some use early to go forward, led from 1000 M to final turn, kept on till weakening final 200 M. |
| 10 | 11 | SKY WALKER (CJ319) | J Victoire | CP | Chased leaders on the fence, always in touch, outpaced approaching the home straight and didn't respond to urging. (Bled 2nd time.) |
| 11 | 4 | ARION OF CHIU TON (CK136) | B Prebble | -- | Went forward and placed handily in 3rd, under whip passing 500 M, not picked up and soon faded out of contention. |
| 12 | 2 | GREAT LUCK (L101) | M Chadwick | TT1 | Settled behind midfield along the inside, outpaced making the final turn and shuffled back to last going into straight, soon beaten. |
