| 1 | 9 | NOBLE DE BEST (CJ160) | W M Lai | B/TT | Jumped fast and soon occupied a one-off position 2Ls off the speed, travelled keenly in middle stages, crept closer at home turn, ran on to contest lead at the top of straight, fought hard to win by a nose. |
| 2 | 1 | HIGH INTELLIGENT (CD317) | M L Yeung | B/TT | Jumped well from gate 14, driven to lead and found the fence near 900 M, uncontested until the straight, overhauled at 200 M, kept battling on under pressure, almost fought back, lost by a whisker. |
| 3 | 10 | SOHNA (CG183) | J Victoire | B/TT | Out in line, held up in a 3-wide position just behind the mid-division, made up ground steadily under pressure in home straight, could not find extra to challenge the top two final 100 M. |

| 5 | 12 | FAIRWOOD CROWN (CK040) | M W Leung | SR | Slow to begin, sat one from the rear and travelled 6Ls off the pace, made up gradual ground down centre of the home straight but never really troubled the principals. |
| 6 | 8 | RED LOTUS (CK378) | H W Lai | -- | Prominently placed just behind the leaders, proven very difficult to settle when restrained in early and middle stages, kept on fairly under pressure until turned one-paced final 150 M. |

| 10 | 11 | EXTRA SPECIAL (CJ213) | Z Purton | CP | Given a waiting ride as usual and travelled 5-6Ls behind the speed, gave very limited response when asked for efforts in the home straight, made no impression. |
| 11 | 2 | FULL STAR (L031) | W C Marwing | -- | Slow to begin, sat 7Ls off the pace at the rear, placed under pressure at the top of home straight, only made little ground and passed the tired runners, checked at 50 M. |
| 12 | 3 | MOONGLOW (CG008) | G Cheyne | B/TT | Jumped fast but lacked early, sat in a 3-wide rearward position 6Ls behind the speed, shifted widest for home, failed to make up any ground in the home straight. |
