Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 5 | MING HOI TREASURE (CK145) | D Beadman | TT | Led from 1400 M and dictated the pace from thereon, went a decent gallop and kicked almost 2Ls clear inside 300 M, kept on well enough in late stages to hold his pursuers at bay. |
| 2 | 3 | CHAMPION MOUNT (CK087) | G Mosse | TT | Placed behind midfield along the fence and travelled strongly 4 to 5Ls off the pace, had no clear run in early straight before a gap appeared nearing 200 M, finished best of all and came within half length of the winner. |
| 3 | 8 | LOCAL POWER (CH296) | M L Yeung | -- | Positioned 3-wide in midfield, switched out 450 M to challenge, gradually responded and went 3rd close home. |
| 4 | 10 | MY MATE ADRIC (L004) | D Whyte | H | Moved forward to race at the shoulder of the leader, held every chance, lacked extra pace to challenge seriously but kept on well for 4th. |
| 5 | 6 | FIRST BEAT (CK127) | Z Purton | XB/H/TT | Switched off to rear 7Ls off the pace, held up 300 M then made late headway to finish 5th never nearer. (Jockey reminded to make every endeavour to avail himself of clear running.) |
| 6 | 12 | ABLE DRAGON (CJ308) | G Cheyne | B/TT | Soon taken across from draw 14, keen at the back in early stages, switched widest approaching home straight, ran on fairly without ever looking likely to take a hand in the finish. |
| 7 | 7 | ROYAL PUMPKIN (CJ341) | B Prebble | -- | Began well then dropped back to a position behind midfield, well covered throughout but got into difficulties when trying to squeeze between horses 200 M out, ran on late without reaching the leaders. |
| 8 | 14 | WINNING BONUS (L119) | H W Lai | TT | Soon crossed to the fence and obtained a prominent position just behind leaders, kept on one-paced under pressure. (Jockey obliged to stop riding over final 50 M.) |
| 9 | 11 | REGENCY KINGDOM (CK031) | O Doleuze | TT | Placed in 6th 3Ls off the pace and had a smooth run along the rail, briefly threatened near 300 M but couldn't sustain his effort, gradually weakened. |
| 10 | 2 | MINGS' HERO (CJ011) | W M Lai | SR | Given a patient ride in the rear, shifted away from fence passing 500 M but was held up until passing 200 M, made late gains when clear. |
| 11 | 13 | WINNER SMART (CK029) | C K Tong | -- | Close enough in the first half, came under pressure rounding the home turn and outpaced gradually inside 400 M. |
| 12 | 9 | MERIDIAN PRIDE (CH057) | K C Leung | TT | Ordinary jump, moved forward to a 3-wide position in chasing group just off the pace, driven 400 M but found no response and was done with inside 200 M. |
| 13 | 4 | SUISSE D'OR (L195) | A Suborics | -- | Settled 2-wide in midfield, well placed to challenge turning in but failed to pick up, steadied near 100 M then eased. |
| 14 | 1 | MAJESTIC HEART (CH319) | T H So | P-/B2/H | Began very awkwardly, refused to race and consequently became detached from the field, never in contention. |
