Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 7 | PACKING OK (L372) | J Lloyd | H1 | Held up towards the rear 7Ls off the pace, ran on strongly final 300M and got up close home despite showing signs of greenness. Impressive debut. |
| 2 | 10 | LONGWAH RISING (CJ297) | T H So | -- | Went forward setting the pace, caught wide down the back straight then crossed to the rail 900M, headed near 300M but fought back to regain the lead 100M out, caught by winner late. |
| 3 | 2 | HUSSLER (CJ323) | M L Yeung | B | Handily placed in 2nd, picked up well and hit the front 300M out, had every chance but turned one pace in 2nd half of straight, headed 100M. |
| 4 | 5 | EIGHT PLUS NINE (CH259) | C Y Ho | B | Tracked leader along the rail, kept on and had his chance but couldn't find the extra pace to challenge seriously. |
| 5 | 11 | PRAISING (L114) | B Prebble | B | Positioned close enough in the group chasing the pace, ran on only fairly and couldn¡¦t get close to the leaders. |
| 6 | 4 | MASTER TOUCH (L108) | Z Purton | XB | In mid-division, kept on same pace to line but never a serious threat. |
| 7 | 1 | WINNING EDGE (L297) | D Whyte | B/H | Dropped back behind midfield, driven 500M out but found less than expected the finish. (Jockey reported his horse making abnormal breathing noise.) |
| 8 | 8 | BIG SAI WAN (L400) | T Angland | TT | Not far off in 5th, kept on at the same pace to 100M then weakened. |
| 9 | 3 | BEST WIN (L212) | B Doyle | H | Caught 3-wide without cover in mid-division, driven approaching 400M but found disappointingly little in the finish. |
| 10 | 12 | LEO'S PRIDE (CK094) | H W Lai | B | Slow to begin, ended up 3-wide in the rear 8Ls behind leader, moved closer over the home turn and couldn't pick up when placed under pressure in straight. |
| 11 | 14 | ISTIDE (CJ089) | C W Wong | TT | Failed to muster speed, travelled in the rear along the fence, checked nearing 800M and shuffled further back, made little impression in straight and got past well beaten runners only. |
| 12 | 9 | BOLD TACK (L397) | M Chadwick | B1/TT1 | Never better than midfield, struggled passing 600M and soon left behind on straightening. |
| 13 | 13 | OWNERS' GLORY (L391) | W M Lai | -- | Always near the rear, never any impression. |
| 14 | 6 | MACASSAR (L382) | M W Leung | H | Driven to a midfield position after a slow start, weakened rapidly inside 300M. |
