| 1 | 4 | SPECIAL DAYS (CH236) | D Whyte | -- | In midfield along the fence and close enough turning in, quickly swept to the front 400M out, held off a serious challenge from the eventual 3rd before prevailing in a close finish against the fast finishing 2nd down the far outside. |
| 2 | 3 | MR MEDICI (CK218) | H W Lai | -- | Settled 2-wide in midfield and travelled strongly to the straight, ran on well from 400M but shifted towards the stand's side under maximum pressure in late stages and was just edged out in a photo finish. |
| 3 | 6 | JAMESINA (CH290) | Z Purton | CP/TT | Held up towards the rear and saved ground on the inside, responded well and challenged strongly up the fence, battled on well but was always held by the winner. |
| 4 | 1 | VIVA PATACA (CG096) | D Beadman | H | Well covered in a 2-wide position towards the rear, made steady progress from the back of the field under top weight but offered little threat to the first three. |
| 5 | 2 | ARMADA (CE246) | J Lloyd | -- | Settled 3-wide in mid-division, switched wide with his challenge and stayed on without threatening the principals. |
| 6 | 14 | INTERCHINA STAR (CJ226) | M W Leung | TT | Close enough to the leader and raced handily, briefly threatened early in straight but turned one-paced over the final 200M. |
| 7 | 5 | JACKPOT DELIGHT (CJ101) | G Mosse | TT | Blundered at the start, settled 8Ls back in last place and remained there until the straight, switched widest for a clear run but responded only fairly. |
| 8 | 11 | ROMA PEGASUS (CK115) | G Cheyne | TT | 2-wide in chasing group behind the pace, used little to top of the straight, briefly held up near 400M but couldn't find a turn of foot when clear. Never threatened. |
| 9 | 7 | NOBLE CONQUEROR (CG169) | A Gryder | B | Switched off after the start and raced in the rear group 8Ls off leader, had plenty to do turning in, made some progress on this yielding ground but not reached leaders. |

| 12 | 8 | EXCELLENT BOY (CE238) | C K Tong | P | Travelled 3-wide behind midfield, checked near 1100M and was difficult to settle after that, kept on at the same pace final 400M and never got into it. |
