Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 3 | DIM SUM (CH226) | D Beadman | V | Came across to slot in for cover 2 wide 5Ls back, improved 3 wide approaching turn, let down too strongly to gain lead inside 200m and hold off rivals nicely. |
| 2 | 2 | SUNNY KING (CH105) | G Mosse | H | Taken back as usual, right out of it from wide alley, best part of 10Ls away at tail, still well back turning, made continual progress through field and did a big job to snare 2nd. |
| 3 | 9 | RICH UNICORN (CL410) | M Du Plessis | -- | Angled into a spot just off midfield 6Ls or so away, 2 wide throughout and tracked eventual winner turning, responded gamely in straight and finished well to figure in first 3. |
| 4 | 10 | LEADING CITY (CK298) | J Lloyd | H | Began well, pressed on to sit outside leader, even speed however applied a bit of pressure to leader on bend, took over until tackled at 200m, lost a place late. |
| 5 | 7 | FINAL ANSWER (CL178) | W C Marwing | H/XB/TT | Out in line, posted 3 wide with cover in midfield, even passage to turn 5ls or so back, came wide at 400m and made gradual progress to 100m when peaked. |
| 6 | 4 | JOY AND FUN (CH014) | B Doyle | CP | Began with rest, settled 3-4Ls away on rails, easy time throughout, kept giving in straight to finish on heels of place getters. |
| 7 | 1 | ABLE ONE (CG108) | O Doleuze | H | Went back from an awkward draw, raced 3 wide 7-8Ls back, had cover throughout, made steady progress down outside without threatening first 3 (see racing incidents). |
| 8 | 12 | AMIGO (CK358) | W M Lai | -- | Taken back to race in rear division, 9ls back on rails, quiet time in mid section, angled out turning and kept coming in straight without showing dash to threaten. |
| 9 | 11 | VITAL FLYER (CK373) | H W Lai | TT | Showed early speed to hold a position on leaders back, even run throughout, right there turning but didn’t quicken, no extra final 200m. |
| 10 | 14 | TAILWIND (M103) | Y T Cheng | B | Positioned nicely in 1 out 1 back spot, enjoyed a good trip to turn, in a bit of traffic 400m but just whacked away when clear. (Muco.) |
| 11 | 6 | CERISE CHERRY (CL141) | T Angland | B | Didn’t have early speed, behind midfield on rails 7Ls back settling, saved ground throughout, made some progress along inside in straight and ran out of room late although not threatening. |
| 12 | 13 | TUSCAN SPIRIT (CK055) | C K Tong | -- | Taken back from an awkward draw, 9ls or so back racing 2 wide at rear, unable to make any serious impression in straight. |
| 13 | 5 | MULTIGLORY (CL168) | M Chadwick | TT | Showed usual speed to take up front running role, set an even tempo in middle section, worried on bend and headed soon after, folded tamely in straight. |
| 14 | 8 | TAI SING YEH (CL037) | Z Purton | -- | Began well enough, pressed on from outside alley but caught deep without cover, 2Ls away but still 3 wide on bend, faded after a hard trip. |
