Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 10 | EURO SWIFTLY (CK091) | T Angland | H/CP/TT | Not hurried, settled towards the rear 7Ls off the pace, found plenty when asked early straight to eventually draw away inside 100M for a back to back win. |
| 2 | 5 | EXCEPTIONAL ART (L174) | Z Purton | -- | Positioned behind midfield, held up a bit nearing the entrance of straight, finished well final 200M to go 2nd near line but was never quite getting to the winner. |
| 3 | 7 | JIMSON THE BEST (L016) | Y T Cheng | -- | Handy from the start, moved to the lead near 400M, kept on well, headed near 100M. |
| 4 | 8 | PERFECT SPRINT (L107) | B Prebble | TT | Held up behind midfield, stayed on under a forceful ride, did best work late. |
| 5 | 1 | CROWN WITNESS (M013) | M Chadwick | TT | Crossed to the lead near 1300M, steadied tempo from 800M, lost lead inside 400M, ran on one paced over the final 300M. |
| 6 | 11 | FLORA DANICA (M064) | J Lloyd | -- | Tracked leader in the 2-path, ran on one-paced, steadied near 200M but didn't find much after. |
| 7 | 2 | SHIFACHI TRADITION (L013) | D Whyte | B/TT | Taken back from a wide draw, raced near the rear for much of the way, switched wide turning for home and made limited progress. |
| 8 | 12 | HAPPY AMBASSADOR (CH286) | G Cheyne | B | Ahead of midfield about 3Ls behind leader in the first half, moved into contention nearing 400M, had his chance but finished off only fairly. |
| 9 | 4 | FLUKE (CJ061) | H W Lai | -- | In mid-division and saved ground sticking to the inside, had every chance but couldn't find extra inside 150M. |
| 10 | 3 | SLEEP WELL (CK036) | K C Leung | XB/TT | Held up in midfield, not much room early straight, had to shift ground but found disappointingly little in the finish. |
| 11 | 9 | OCEAN PRINCE (CK066) | B Doyle | XB | Chased leaders in early stages, caught 3-wide without cover in 4th, weakened and out of contention passing 300M. |
| 12 | 6 | MAJESTIC HEART (CH319) | C K Tong | B/H | Began awkwardly and lost ground, raced at the back throughout, taken widest on straightening, not quickened. |
