| 1 | 2 | CASH COURIER (S417) | S De Sousa | B | Settled behind midfield on rails, commenced move rounding home bend, reached 5th some 4L back on final turn, sustained effort in straight to just get up on line. |
| 2 | 6 | LUCKY BALL (T130) | N Callan | -- | Held up behind the leader on rails, angled out to challenge entering straight, soon hit the front narrowly, collared close to home. |
| 3 | 8 | DUTCH WINDMILL (T288) | K K Chiong | TT | Jumped awkwardly from a wide gate, raced wide in midfield early stages before taken back closer to the rails in rear, renewed effort from the 400 metres, finished off race well near the centre of the track. |
| 4 | 9 | BLISS CARTEL (S202) | J Moreira | B | Broke well from the two draw, assumed lead on rails setting a reasonable pace, found no extra under strong pressure in straight and swamped close to home. |
| 5 | 10 | LE PEGASE (T280) | K Teetan | B | Jumped fairly, settled in midfield on rails, took closer order rounding home bend for 2.5L 3rd into straight when not able to quicken further, kept on at the same pace to finish. |
| 6 | 7 | SOCCER BRAVE (T233) | H W Lai | B/TT | Very slowly away, settled well back on rails, saved ground turning for home, made modest progress under pressure without threatening. |
| 7 | 3 | THUNDER DASH (T133) | H N Wong | B/XB | Awkward beginning, given gentle reminders to get in focus before settling in 1L 2nd, lost position under pressure from the Rock and made no impression in home straight. |
| 8 | 1 | FAITHFUL BOY (T089) | C Schofield | B/H | Prominent early before taken back to settle in 5th and within 3L of pace, yielded ground from 400 metres out. |
| 9 | 5 | MEDIC SWORDSMAN (P168) | O Bosson | B-/V1 | Settled in rear from the widest gate, travelled keenly improving to 8th and just worse than midfield coming onto back straight, run ended on top of home bend. |
| 10 | 4 | REAL SUPREME (CL247) | O Doleuze | B/TT | Caught very wide from a tricky gate, taken back to midfield far side but remained 3-wide without cover, dropped away quickly from home bend. |
| 11 | 11 | THUNDERSTROKE (T067) | C Y Ho | B/XB | Began fairly, amongst leaders early stages travelling 4-wide before shifting backward to 4th, renewed effort to reach 2nd briefly passing the 600 metres, folded up quickly from approaching home straight. (Mucus in trachea) |
