| 1 | 5 | DARPANA (CK256) | W C Marwing | B/TT | Away in line and raced 3-wide at midfield. Left without cover home turn. Dashed strongly top of home straight. Battled determinedly inside final 200M and came out on top final strides. |
| 2 | 1 | QUANTUM EXPRESS (CK166) | C Y Ho | H/TT | Well enough away. Elected to sit 2-wide ahead of midfield from 800M. Rallied on with the eventual winner home straight. Just failed to sustain effort near the post. |
| 3 | 4 | COSMO SUCCESSOR (CH118) | Y T Cheng | B | Ridden early back straight from wide barrier. Cut to the fence and led home turn. Kept on well and held a 2Ls advantage 200M. Caught by the front pair close to home. |
| 4 | 8 | WELL NOTED (CG313) | B Prebble | B-/PC2/TT | Jumped well but caught wide. Gradually eased towards rear early and middle stages. Improved outside and was 5Ls down rounding home turn. Picked up satisfactorily thereafter but couldn't trouble the front trio. |
| 5 | 7 | FISHKING GLORY (CL123) | K C Leung | B2/TT | Slowly away. Soon switched to the fence at rear. Took inside run turning into home stretch. Made up good ground in the straight and nearly made frame. |
| 6 | 9 | LUCKY TYCOON (CH318) | M Chadwick | B | Bumped at start and was taken to 2-wide towards rear at 1000M. Shifted 3-wide home turn. Came widest and was 6Ls adrift 350M. Closed off the race fairly well. |
| 7 | 2 | VITAL SMART (M104) | P Strydom | B- | Rolled forward and led on fence early. Took seat behind pace home turn. Couldn't turn up a notch in the straight. |
| 8 | 11 | NOTUS (M038) | Z Purton | B1 | Began awkwardly. Shaken up but took time to muster. Raced behind midfield on fence from 1000M. Peeled out for clear running on straightening but gave very limited response when asked. |
| 9 | 3 | HOME WITH GLORY (CL171) | B Doyle | B | Handy position on fence to home straight. Failed to accelerate when the race got serious inside 300M. |
| 10 | 10 | SOHNA (CG183) | C K Tong | B-/P1/TT | Driven early but insufficient speed to cross from highest draw. Ended up 3-wide towards rear from 1000M. Very little impression thereafter. |
| 11 | 12 | WINNING MASCOT (CL342) | M Du Plessis | -- | Pressed early to stay 2-wide behind midfield. Niggled home turn to maintain position but soon lost touch after straightening. |
