Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 10 | LUCKY SELECTION (CK228) | B Prebble | B2/TT | Raced within 2Ls of the pace early. Commenced his run from 500M and reached the leading section at 300M. Had a duel with the runner-up final 100M and prevailed closing stages. (Distressed.) |
| 2 | 7 | BET ON ME (CK376) | O Doleuze | XB1 | Sat behind the speed near the stands' rail. Hard ridden from 400M and responded well. Fought determinedly with the winner final 100M. Beaten narrowly at the line and left the rest of the field far. |
| 3 | 4 | SHY BALDY (CH168) | C K Tong | TT | Quickly into stride. Shared lead on stands' rail until headed 300M. Barely hung on for a non-threatening 3rd. |
| 4 | 3 | WINDICATOR RETURNS (CJ191) | C Y Ho | -- | Closed to the pace near the far side early. Lacked the turn of foot to sprint with the front pair passing 300M. One-paced to conclude. |
| 5 | 8 | DANEWIN TIGER (CL282) | J Lloyd | -- | Showed good early speed and led until overhauled by the front trio final furlong. Lost 4th at post. |
| 6 | 9 | HOT SHOT (CL289) | D Beadman | TT1 | Back with last few early. Urged from 500M. Picked up fairly well passing 300M and was nearest at finish. |
| 7 | 5 | POWER RETURN (CK039) | M Du Plessis | TT | Always at midfield. Never nearer. |
| 8 | 13 | SUNNY SMILES (CJ073) | M W Leung | -- | Failed to muster early despite the effort of rider. Improved from rear 300M out. Past beaten runners home. |
| 9 | 1 | FRESH AIR (CL206) | K W Leung | -- | Travelled behind the pace group early and middle stages. No response when asked inside 400M. |
| 10 | 2 | DANESOUTH (CL001) | K C Leung | B/SR/H1 | Towards rear always. Never really progressed. |
| 11 | 11 | GLORY (CL066) | Y T Cheng | -- | In front rank until faded final 400M. |
| 12 | 12 | INFALLIBLE CHOICE (CK341) | S K Sit | -- | Near the pace early. Struggled from midpoint. |
| 13 | 6 | STILLYOUTURNMEON (CK249) | G Cheyne | -- | At midfield before dropping out midpoint. Never in contention. |
