Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 10 | SOLAR UP (CK065) | D Whyte | -- | Soon in front rank but was caught wide. Driven to shift in first turn and led on fence passing 900 M. Levelled up turning. Ran on to kick clear final furlong but was seriously threatened near finish. Just lasted. |
| 2 | 5 | FORTUNE SPIRIT (CK102) | Z Purton | B/TT | Raced within 3Ls of the pace in a 2-wide position until home straight. Rallied on and launched a strong challenge closing stages. Denied in a bobbing of heads. |
| 3 | 6 | THE RIFLE (CK208) | A Gryder | -- | Travelled 3-wide after fair start. Rolled forward and eventually parked outside the leader from 400 M. Hung on in the straight without troubling the front pair. |
| 4 | 4 | TELECOM SUPER STAR (CK386) | W C Marwing | B-/TT1 | Raced 3-wide in midfield early and was 4Ls down approaching final stretch. Kept covering ground to make frame at finish. |
| 5 | 12 | MAGIC TURBO (CJ098) | M L Yeung | CP | Stayed towards rear on fence early and was 5Ls away turning in. Took run between runners and finished off fairly well. Just failed to make frame. |
| 6 | 7 | BRILLIANT ONE (CG212) | W M Lai | -- | Eased to rear near fence from high draw. Remained on fence and was 7Ls off on straightening. Made up good ground thereafter. |
| 7 | 2 | MANY GAINS (CJ051) | J Lloyd | CP/TT | Began awkwardly. Ridden along the fence early and raced in midfield. Shifted 2-wide and was 4Ls behind the leader leaving the bend. Made decent headway. |
| 8 | 3 | SUNSHINE BOY (CJ281) | M W Leung | H | Well enough away. Took seat behind pace first turn but ended up at midfield rounding home turn. Ran on steadily in the straight but was not threatening. |
| 9 | 1 | BLADE FORCE (CK330) | M Chadwick | B-/TT | Out nicely. Elected to sit behind leader from 900 M. Failed to turn up a notch in the straight. |
| 10 | 9 | WINFINDER (CJ344) | A Suborics | -- | Never far off the pace early and middle stages. Just held ground in the straight. |
| 11 | 8 | HIGH LUCK (CK134) | K C Leung | XB | Crowded for room at start. Sat 2-wide towards rear through to home turn. Minor progress in the straight. |
| 12 | 11 | GALLOPY (CK333) | H W Lai | B-/TT | Soon dropped to rear and never improved. |
