| 1 | 2 | RIDE ON THE FIRE (M137) | T Clark | TT | Settled in a handy position along the paint. Challenged for the lead near the furlong and drew clear soon after to claim the prize. |
| 2 | 9 | MI SAVVY (N138) | O Doleuze | SR1 | Had to be steadied when tightened for room near the 600m, travelling 3 back, 1 off with cover. Ran on nicely. |
| 3 | 1 | DEPOSER (L092) | H W Lai | -- | Took up leading duties after the 800m along the fence. Maintained a sound gallop down the running. |
| 4 | 12 | WINSOME (M261) | C K Tong | TT | Made its run from a rearward position, settling along the rails. Closed off nicely to make the frame. |
| 5 | 5 | OCEAN WIDE (CJ132) | W M Lai | H | Tracked the leaders after the 700m, settling 2 wide with cover. Plugged away over the last 200m. |
| 6 | 3 | GREEN EAGLE (N052) | M Du Plessis | -- | Did some work early to eventually cross near the 700m and race outside the leader. Began to tire over the last furlong. |
| 7 | 11 | SECRET OF WINNING (CK205) | K C Ng | H2/TT | Began awkwardly settling on the speed, 3 wide without cover on the circle. Faded early in the final stretch. |
| 8 | 8 | SPICY SHRIMP (L067) | B Prebble | B/H | Ridden along early settling ahead of midfield 3 wide with cover. Whacked away at the same speed in the straight. |
| 9 | 7 | DIAMOND KNIGHT (CK311) | M Guyon | XB2 | Slow to begin travelling towards the rear, 3 wide with cover. Failed to close off. |
| 10 | 10 | BLAZE RAIDER (N091) | M Chadwick | TT | Settled with the backmakers, 2 wide with cover. Never a factor. |
| 11 | 6 | SUPREME DE UNION (CK349) | D Whyte | B/H/TT | Checked at the start then became detached and was reluctant to stretch out thereafter. Struggled in the home straight. (To trial.) |
| 12 | 4 | KING OF THE DAY (L324) | C Y Ho | B/TT | Couldn't match the early speed from its outside gate and travelled behind the leaders, but was posted 4 deep without cover. Never likely. |
