| Placing | Horse No |
Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 2 | REAL SPECIALIST (M143) | T Angland | -- | Never far off in 4th, travelled strongly and accelerated to the lead inside 250M, continued on well to the line and was always maintaining his advantage. |
| 2 | 6 | PRESIDENT LINCOLN (N267) | Z Purton | TT | Chased leader, had every chance turning in, not pace of winner inside 250M but kept on well enough to hold 2nd. |
| 3 | 13 | VICTORY MASTER (M148) | T Clark | -- | In midfield along the inside, kept on steadily final 400M but not going the pace to challenge first two. |
| 4 | 11 | JUN GONG (N325) | M Zahra | B1 | From wide barrier slotted into a 3-wide spot in midfield, held up early straight, switched wide and closed off willingly, nearest finish. |
| 5 | 10 | FLEET COMMAND (CK077) | T H So | B | Held up 3-wide near the rear, difficult to settle and shifted to 4-wide without cover 800M, steady progress from 500M, briefly went 3rd 100M out, faded late and lost 2 placings. |
| 6 | 4 | WAH MAY STAR (M254) | D Whyte | -- | Tracked leaders in 3rd, found disappointingly little inside 350M, out of contention 200M. |
| 7 | 9 | WINNING EDGE (L297) | O Doleuze | SR | Towards the rear and not helped by the slackening pace in middle stages, pulled wide to challenge passing 400M, stayed on only fairly. |
| 8 | 5 | MASQUERADER (N234) | W Pike | B/TT | Settled 2-wide behind midfield, not helped by the slackening pace over the turn, no clear run early straight but made only limited progress when clear. |
| 9 | 3 | MAJESTIC FALCON (M236) | B Prebble | H/XB | Held up in last pair, turned 3-wide 700M and moved closer to pace, hung in over final 400M and proved very difficult to ride, no threat to leaders passing 200M. |
| 10 | 1 | NEW VISION (M028) | M Du Plessis | B/TT | Raced freely down the back straight, not able to cross, hung out making the turn and left with no cover, found little in the drive home, weakened 200M out. |
| 11 | 8 | REGENCY KING (N040) | M Chadwick | H1/TT1 | Driven forward and crossed to the lead near 900M, slowed things down over the turn, headed near 250M, weakened away. |
| 12 | 7 | NOBLE BOY (M206) | K C Leung | -- | Towards the rear 6Ls off the pace, kept on same pace early straight, got tired passing 150M. |
| 13 | 14 | TOPSPIN EXPRESS (N004) | W M Lai | B/TT | Raced keenly early stages when racing without cover, settled in midpack making the turn, not pace of others passing 300M, soon behind. |
| 14 | 12 | ORACLE (N115) | C K Tong | TT | Always at the back, not picked up inside 400M, eased mid-straight. |
