| 1 | 9 | LONGWAH KID (CL412) | T Angland | H/P/TT | 2-wide at midfield early. Shifted 3-wide home turn and was 3Ls down turning into home. Battled determinedly to the line to repel rivals and just got up at post. |
| 2 | 7 | TEAM WORK (CH276) | M Guyon | B | Ridden early and raced 2-wide behind midfield to home turn. Swung out and was 4Ls away on straightening. Finished off strongly and was denied in a bobbing of heads. |
| 3 | 5 | DANEWIN TIGER (CL282) | B Prebble | CP/TT | Switched to race towards rear after start. Same position into final stretch. Picked up well but was fended off by top pair. |
| 4 | 10 | BESPOKE MASTER (CL227) | M Du Plessis | -- | Quickly into stride. Elected to race 2-wide ahead of midfield first turn. Angled out rounding home turn. Kept on satisfactorily but lacked finishing touch of the front trio. |
| 5 | 1 | STAR OF FAME (CH043) | M Chadwick | B/TT | Urged early and raced at midfield along the fence. Shifted 2-wide home turn and was 3Ls back leaving the bend. Ran on fairly well without seriously threatening the principals. |
| 6 | 2 | TAKE THE RAP (CL369) | N Callan | SR/TT | Began well. Sat on fence ahead of midfield from first turn. Soon got clear run home straight and had every chance 200M. One-paced to conclude. |
| 7 | 8 | VITAL SMART (CM104) | O Doleuze | B | Shaken up early and led on fence passing first turn. Took seat behind leader approaching the Rock. Ideal position to strike home straight but couldn't turn up a notch. |
| 8 | 4 | SUPERIOR WARRIOR (CL167) | H W Lai | B2/TT | Driven from wide gate. Eventually cut to the fence and led passing the Rock. Held a 1L advantage turning in. Hung on until no extra final 150M. |
| 9 | 6 | KING ON EARTH (CL251) | B Doyle | XB | Towards rear on fence. One-spot closer top of home straight. Ridden along the rail but hung in badly. Not fully tested. |
| 10 | 3 | GOLD WINNER (CK139) | K C Ng | TT | Pressed early to obtain a forward spot but was trapped wide. Parked one-off behind leader from 700M. Found nothing when asked home straight. |
| 11 | 12 | SUCCESSFUL ERA (CK276) | M L Yeung | B/H | Always at rear. No impression. |
| 12 | 11 | TELECOM SUPER STAR (CK386) | T H So | B/H2 | Behind midfield early but came under pressure middle stages despite effort of rider. Well beaten before home straight. (Substantial amount of blood in horse's trachea and lame right front). |
