| 1 | 7 | PLAY WISE (A411) | M F Poon | B2 | Crossed nearing the 1200m & obtained nice run on leaders back. Travelled strongly between runners approaching the 400m, before sprinting well once balanced. Assumed lead in last few strides to record narrow win. |
| 2 | 6 | STARLIT KNIGHT (A137) | H N Wong | -- | Strode forward before getting one out, one back passing the 1200m. Dashed forward to assume lead passing the 600m before racing 3L clear on cornering. Held lead inside the final 50m before being caught late. |
| 3 | 2 | TOUCH OF LUCK (B376) | Z Purton | PC-/CP2 | Strode to midfield away from the rail throughout early & middle stages. Moved three wide passing the 500m when improving before cornering 3L from the lead. Made steady headway in the straight to be close behind first two. |
| 4 | 5 | CHARITY WINGS (B003) | A Domeyer | B | Shifted across to the rail after the start, racing in midfield. Moved away from the rail when taken out passing the 500m before straightening 5L from the lead. Made up some ground in the final 250m without threatening. |
| 5 | 8 | C P POWER (V037) | A Sanna | V/TT | Had no early speed and consequently raced rearward. Continued rearward entering the final section before making steady headway and passing a few in the straight. |
| 6 | 9 | DREAM WARRIORS (C280) | K Teetan | CP/H/TT | Fractious in barriers, lifted feet & slow to begin. Mustered pace to race midfield on rail. Raced tightly, 600m to 500m before cornering 5L from lead. Battled on after straightening but was never a real factor. (Must trial). |
| 7 | 11 | GODSPEED (A087) | C Y Ho | B2 | Shifted across behind runners to race in second half. Moved three wide before improving position passing the 800m to be 1L from lead at the 600m. Peaked shortly after straightening & gave a few lengths in last furlong. |
| 8 | 4 | NITRO EXPRESS (T353) | N Callan | TT | Steadied and shifted behind runners to race in final trio leaving the straight. Moved wider passing the 400m when conceding 6.5L to the lead. Held margin in run to line and was never a likely contender. |
| 9 | 10 | ROMAN ODYSSEY (A092) | K C Leung | H-/TT | Strode forward to race outside the leader approaching the 1100m. Three lengths from lead when racing second on the turn before tiring out and losing ground in the straight. |
| 10 | 3 | JOYFUL HEART (C227) | J Moreira | TT | Shifted across to race in midfield away from rail. Moved three deep approaching the 600m before tracking wider into the turn. Widest runner, 5L from the lead on straightening before peaking on effort shortly after. |
| 11 | 1 | GOLDEN GLORY (T076) | U Rispoli | B/TT | Steadied after start and shifted back to last leaving the straight. Over 3L behind the second last horse passing the 400m and failed to make any headway into significant margin in the last section. |
| 12 | 12 | CORRE RAPIDO (A053) | T H So | B | Strode forward to assume lead approaching the 1200m. Headed passing the 600m before yielding ground from that stage and was a well beaten last. (Must trial). |
