Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 5 | MANY GAINS (CJ051) | B Prebble | B-/TT2 | Ridden along to travel in second position outside the leader. Shot clear at the 300m, and never looked in doubt. |
| 2 | 12 | WINNING STRATEGY (CJ353) | M Du Plessis | B | Rated behind midfield, 2 wide with cover. Peeled out near the 500m to race 3 wide with cover. Rounded the home bend 6 deep and closed off strongly over the concluding stages. |
| 3 | 4 | VALUE CHOICE (CG213) | J Lloyd | B/TT | Sent forward to lead along the paint. Maintained a good gallop down the running but was nabbed in the shadows of the post. |
| 4 | 7 | SLEEPCARE (CK336) | G Cheyne | B1 | Checked at the start but recovered to box seat. Battled away to hold a spot in the frame. |
| 5 | 2 | DR UNION (CK105) | W M Lai | H/P | Parked 3 back the fence. Kept on somewhat one paced in the run to the line. |
| 6 | 8 | KING CREOLE (CG287) | M L Yeung | B/TT | Posted 3 wide without cover, midfield. Never looked likely. |
| 7 | 6 | FUN AND FAST (L177) | H W Lai | B | Settled at the rear soon after the start, 2 deep with cover. Peeled out widest on the home turn and passed tiring runners over the latter stages. |
| 8 | 3 | SUNSHINE BOY (CJ281) | K C Leung | B/H/TT | Camped midfield 1 off with cover. Came up flat in the final stretch. |
| 9 | 10 | FAIRY DRAGON (L018) | C K Tong | H-/B1 | Travelled 1 out 1 back. Had every chance but failed to capitalize. |
| 10 | 11 | NICE KING (CG147) | D Whyte | B | Severely checked soon after the start settling with the backmakers along the fence with cover. Kept to the inside in the straight but only plodded to the line. |
| 11 | 1 | ASIAN CITRUS (CH246) | W C Marwing | B/TT | Began awkwardly and settled at the rear 2 wide with cover. Travelled 3 wide with cover after the 500m, was a spent force early in the home straight. |
| 12 | 9 | PLANET (L029) | Z Purton | B2/TT2 | Copped a check on jumping and then for some distance near the 800m, proved very difficult to settle whist positioned behind midfield the fence. Running on empty over the last 100m. |
