Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 4 | GLORIOUS DAYS (M353) | D Whyte | -- | Fair getaway, ended up in midfield 5Ls off leader, began to improve wider turning, had to knuckle to task chasing down leader and dug deep final furlong to score. |
| 2 | 10 | BULLISH CHAMPION (M198) | M Guyon | TT | Plenty of early speed, kicked through to hold lead, rolled along at sectionals to suit, crept away with a 3L lead turning in, kept kicking and just denied final strides. |
| 3 | 8 | NOBLE ALPHA (M339) | B Prebble | -- | Taken back from an outside draw, 9-10Ls or so away in running line, aided by tempo, came widest into straight and made good progress for place. |
| 4 | 12 | KYARA (L423) | K C Leung | H/XB | Positioned behind midfield, 8Ls or so away in running line, a bit keen as usual, tracked eventual winner turning, made some decent progress in straight to make frame. |
| 5 | 3 | AASHIQ (CK175) | J Lloyd | CP | Began with purpose, unable to take usual role in front, raced 1-2Ls back outside leader, fair run to bend, stayed on at one speed in straight. |
| 6 | 9 | AMIGO (CK358) | W M Lai | -- | Out in line, drifted back to race 3 wide behind midfield 5-6Ls off speed, had no cover on circle, kept on evenly in straight despite hard run. |
| 7 | 1 | FAT CHOY OOHLALA (L250) | K C Ng | B | No early pace, dropped back to race with last few, 9Ls or so back on rails, produced usual close but struck traffic at 200m, wouldn't have been too much closer. |
| 8 | 11 | HELENE FUN STAR (N105) | T Clark | SR1 | Moderately away, raced just off midfield 7Ls or so away on rails, quiet time to bend, made some minor progress without threatening in straight. |
| 9 | 7 | JUST FANTASTIC (L291) | M L Yeung | H | Began well, slotted into box seat 2Ls off lead, improved 3 wide rounding bending, challenged at top of straight but soon under pressure and faded. |
| 10 | 14 | OPEN SESAME (L091) | M Chadwick | TT | Jumped with rest, enjoyed ideal run 6Ls back on rails, angled off rails on bend, came to outside but failed to run on as usual in straight. (Blood in trachea.) |
| 11 | 5 | VAUGIRARD (CK347) | C Y Ho | B | Away nicely, ended up with ideal trail 3Ls away on leaders back, close enough on bend, gradually weakened out in straight without much fight. |
| 12 | 13 | MARK UP (CK247) | C W Wong | -- | Tardy into stride, mustered to be best part of 12Ls back at rear, gave a big start turning, didn't make much ground. |
| 13 | 6 | CHEF (N108) | G Cheyne | H1/SR1 | Crowded early, settled at tails 12Ls off lead, a bit difficult to settle, still at tail turning, no real progress. |
| 14 | 2 | CERISE CHERRY (L141) | N Callan | B/TT1 | Away well, crossed to sit just off pace, 3Ls or so back in running line, fair run to bend, didn't find when pressured and weakened tamely. |
