| 1 | 2 | BEAR HERO (M220) | N Callan | TT | Parked along with the leading division in about 3rd or the 4th position, the stand side. Drifted in under pressure over the final furlong but had plenty in the tank to win nicely. |
| 2 | 8 | KEEN TACTICS (N143) | O Doleuze | SR-/XB/B1 | Camped towards the grandstand side in a handy position tacking the leaders. Closed off well. |
| 3 | 3 | GIFT IS GIFT (M053) | M L Yeung | CP-/B1 | Worked forward and hit the front near the 450m whilst travelling near the middle of the track. Finished off gamely. |
| 4 | 1 | AMEDEO (CK292) | U Rispoli | B/TT | Began awkwardly soon recovered to race on the speed about 4 from the stands rail. Gave in cheaply after being squeezed over the last 200m. |
| 5 | 6 | ULTIMATE WINNERS (L428) | K C Ng | TT | Camped midfield the far side just off the speed no cover. Never threatened and faded over the final stages. |
| 6 | 7 | XI YING MEN (L352) | Z Purton | B | Jumped awkwardly settling on the speed. Couldn't find and extra gear at the business end and whacked away one paced over the final stages. |

| 8 | 9 | JUST FOLLOW ME (N198) | H W Lai | CP/TT | Travelled towards the stands rail with cover. Struggled over the final furlong. |
