| 1 | 8 | KINGSFIELD (T403) | K C Leung | B-/XB/TT | Pushed forward to lead on settling and set steady pace to straight. Kept finding when put under intense pressure and though shortening stride in final stages managed to hold on for narrow win. |
| 2 | 9 | REGENCY BO BO (A050) | J Moreira | -- | Missed the start slightly, taken to rail and hunted forward to get within 3L of leader at home turn. Blocked for inside run top of straight, switched out 300m and closed with a rush to just miss. |
| 3 | 1 | CONVINCIBLE (T399) | K Teetan | H-/B1 | Broke well, pushed forward to grab box seat, then kept tabs on leader to turn when left fence to make challenge. Battled on gamely in straight only to fail narrowly. |
| 4 | 4 | PRETTY BAUHINIA (A135) | N Rawiller | B | Jumped with field, shared early pace to 1100m when steadied and travelled keenly before settling midfield but 3-wide with cover. Swung wide into straight and closed off nicely to finish just behind place-getters. |
| 5 | 14 | SILVERFIELD (S106) | T H So | XB | Unable handle early pace and settled towards the rear along fence. Made some progress around home turn and kept on steadily in straight without looking dangerous. |
| 6 | 12 | SMILING CHARM (V321) | U Rispoli | CP/H/TT | Jumped OK but not much speed and dropped towards rear in one-out position. Remained at rear till straightening for home and ran on fairly between horses. |
| 7 | 13 | RED ELYSEES (A005) | M Chadwick | B | Ridden to hold forward position but stranded wide without cover, racing 3-deep 2L from leader on settling. Swung wide into straight and boxed on one-paced. |
| 8 | 10 | SHARP HUNTER (P097) | D Whyte | B | Pressed forward from a wide draw before being eased back to find cover, settling at rear but 3-wide. Taken to centre field on straightening and found little despite several reminders. |
| 9 | 5 | WHY WHY (P372) | Z Purton | B/H/TT | Shifted across behind runners shortly after start, dropping to last pair but kept away from fence. Remained at the rear till well into the straight before running past tired horses. Lame left front and left hind legs. |
| 10 | 2 | HINYUEN SWIFTNESS (V250) | H N Wong | -- | Got off well, pressed forward 3-wide before settling 3-parts of a length behind leader approaching turn. Swung a little wide into straight, boxed on fairly to 200m when ran out of fuel and faded. |
| 11 | 11 | GOLDEN SLEEP (T117) | K C Ng | TT | Hard ridden but unable to match early pace, being shuffled back gradually to behind midfield. Lost more ground around home turn, taken wide in straight but only one-paced. |
| 12 | 6 | OHANA (A185) | S Clipperton | -- | Vigorously ridden from the jump to get forward position but couldn't muster sufficient speed, dropping to behind midfield but wide. Taken to centre field on straightening but found little under hard riding. |
| 13 | 7 | INTREPIC (A139) | B Prebble | B | Given a couple of slaps at the start to get moving, racing outside early leader before being eased one-back, one-out approaching home turn. Given reminders top of straight but found nothing and drifted back. |
| 14 | 3 | SMART BABY (A160) | C Y Ho | -- | Shifted across behind runners from wide draw and last on settling. Trailed field to straight and never competitive. |
