| 1 | 11 | STRIKING MR C (B141) | K C Leung | B/TT | Showed early speed to assume the lead near the 1000m before crossing to rail shortly after. Raced three lengths clear in the lead entering the final section, before continuing on to score impressive big margin win. Easy. |
| 2 | 12 | RUN MOOCHI (B277) | S De Sousa | V | Limited early speed & drifted back worse than midfield. Continued along rail, held up on straightening & again near 200m before finishing well in closing stages. Well behind dominant winner. (Tendon injury). |
| 3 | 7 | SUREWIN (B157) | N Callan | B | Couldn't go the early speed before being ridden forward to hold position 3rd last. Continued to be hard ridden in middle stages before cornering well off lead. Made steady headway late but like others was no match for winner. |
| 4 | 6 | EXPONENTS (A031) | J Moreira | V | Not as fast as others and raced just worse than midfield away from rail. Continued rearward, held up momentarily near the 300m before finishing off ok for 4th. |
| 5 | 4 | STARLOT (V367) | B Shinn | B | Had no early speed and raced at the rear shortly after the start. Moved four wide passing the 500m, straightened the widest before running home ok to finish not far behind second. Well behind winner. |
| 6 | 1 | ISLAND WINNER (C088) | A Sanna | CP/XB/TT | Ridden forward to be prominent after start before racing on the leaders back from the 850m. Continued in second position but under heavy riding passing the 500m before peaking & being passed inside last 100m. |
| 7 | 8 | CHARITYDREAM (B334) | H N Wong | CP/TT | Began well before racing in midfield on rail. Was six lengths from lead entering the last section but could make no further impression and was well held. |
| 8 | 9 | TRIUMPHANT LORD (C101) | M F Poon | TT | No early speed & raced second from last on rail. Shuffled back to last passing half-way before cornering at the tail over 9L from lead. Moved the widest after straightening, passed a few tiring runners but was never a factor. |
| 9 | 2 | BOND ELEGANCE (A007) | K Teetan | P | Shifted across after start to race in midfield, three wide with cover. Came under hard riding passing the 450m before weakening further in the straight to be beaten nearly 10 lengths. |
| 10 | 5 | CORRE RAPIDO (A053) | A Badel | B | Began well before being headed and racing in midfield between runners. Continued to be in midfield after straightening but weakened out badly in the final 150m. Beaten a big margin. |
| 11 | 3 | JIMSON THE DRAGON (C017) | U Rispoli | XB/B1/TT | Improved after the start to stride to third, away from rail passing the 850m. Was hard ridden from passing the 550m before yielding significant ground in the final furlong. Beaten a big margin. |
| 12 | 10 | KING MORTAR (A097) | H T Mo | V | Hard ridden but failed to muster early, before improving mid-race to third position, three wide, passing the 750m. Came under hard riding & hung out passing the 500m before weakening out significantly in the straight. (Bled). |
