Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 6 | ROMANTIC CITY (L023) | Z Purton | -- | Sprung from gates, led easily, rolled along at good sections to bend, kicked clear and established a good break, ran away to be an easy winner. |
| 2 | 12 | MI REILLY (CJ199) | Y T Cheng | -- | Began well, camped on leaders back, had all favours in run, clear turning when leader skipped away, stayed on but couldn't wear down margin. |
| 3 | 5 | CHATER MIKADO (M100) | D Whyte | -- | Out in line, raced midfield, 3Ls or so back, came along inside in straight and closed creditably for placing. |
| 4 | 8 | ELEGANCE DESIRE (L102) | D Beadman | XB | Behind midfield early, 5Ls back, came 3-wide at 600 M, had trail before swinging 4-wide on turn, closed hard down outside, run ended at 100 M. |
| 5 | 9 | SEEK N' DESTROY (L221) | M L Yeung | -- | No early speed, rear trail 5Ls or so away on fence, saved ground on bend, finished off well to be nearest on line. |
| 6 | 10 | MR VIGOROUS (L189) | T H So | -- | Drifted back to race in midfield, 3-wide with cover, 4 to 5 Ls back to turn, came wide on bend, made even progress without threatening. |
| 7 | 7 | SUPER BOY (CK405) | H W Lai | TT- | Allowed to slide back from an awkward ally, 5 to 6 Ls back in running line, job to do turning, made some minor progress. |
| 8 | 3 | FOREVER ELATION (CK215) | M Guyon | B | Settled before midfield 4Ls or so away, severely checked at 500 M, shifted back to turn, lost momentum and just held ground in straight. |
| 9 | 1 | PERFECT GEAR (L014) | C Y Ho | -- | Came out with them, planted very wide at rear, hung and still 4-wide to turn, tired only bend horses home. |
| 10 | 11 | NEW GLORY (CK304) | C W Wong | -- | Box seated just behind them, 1 out 1 back thoroughly, caught behind a tired horse turning and lost valuable ground, clear when too late. (See Racing Incidents.) |
| 11 | 4 | GOOD WORDS (L371) | M Chadwick | TT | Pressed on to race outside leader, did share of work with even sections, struggling on turning and faded out in straight. |
| 12 | 2 | ROYAL FLUSH (CK184) | N Callan | V/XB/TT | Began well, went forward but trapped 3-wide without cover, used up throughout, faded final 200 M and bumped when tiring. |
