Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 3 | HARRIER JET (T372) | N Callan | V/TT | Jumped well to be chasing leaders, under gradual acceleration top of straight, led 120M out, raced away closing stages. |
| 2 | 10 | STAR OF JOY (A171) | M L Yeung | -- | Gradually moved forward to be 2nd 700M chasing leader, looked to have his chance in the straight but couldn't match winner's kick final 150M. |
| 3 | 1 | STARLIGHT (V273) | Z Purton | -- | Held up in mid-division, boxed on steadily to the line, got up for 3rd late. |
| 4 | 6 | EIGHTY EIGHTY (B008) | J Moreira | TT | Tracked leaders in 3rd, kept battling up the fence on straightening, one paced late and edged out of a placing near the line. |
| 5 | 7 | ZERO HEDGE (A221) | O Doleuze | SR | Began only fairly, from last position gradually improved to midfield but 3-wide no cover throughout, tried hard in the straight but couldn't reel in leaders. |
| 6 | 11 | NICE FANDANGO (A209) | H N Wong | H/TT | Pressed forward, led uncontested at good tempo, held narrow lead turning in, faded away after being headed 150M. (Jockey reported saddle shifted after the jump and disadvantaged.) |
| 7 | 8 | I'M THE CONQUIST (B155) | C Wong | B | Never far off from leaders, 3Ls off the pace 400M, only held ground in the straight, never a winning hope. |
| 8 | 5 | BIG FORTUNE (B220) | U Rispoli | -- | Dropped back to near the rear from wide barrier, 6Ls off leader over the turn, stayed on moderately from the back but never looked likely. |
| 9 | 2 | SMART BOY (V076) | T Berry | CP/TT1 | Switched off to the rear after jumping form wide draw, over 7Ls off leader middle stages, showed little turning in and failed to come into contention. |
| 10 | 9 | PAKISTAN BABY (S442) | A Sanna | B/TT | Not hurried after the start, reserved towards the rear, kept to inside on straightening but unable to quicken, plodded home. (Lame next day.) |
| 11 | 12 | SUNNY DRAGON (V412) | K C Ng | CP/H/TT | Began awkwardly, raced at the rear, much further back than intended, couldn't come on in the straight, always back. |
