| 1 | 4 | EVER FORCE (D453) | Z Purton | B/TT | Showed speed after the start before being crossed & racing on leaders back from the 900m. Stayed on rail in straight, dashed through to share lead at 200m before rallying in closing stages to win (Blood in trachea post-race). |
| 2 | 9 | PEAK TO PEAK (D472) | J Moreira | SR | Obtained good position 1,1 throughout. Eased 3 wide on cornering, sprinted well to share lead at the 200m until the 100m before just overpowered by winner in late stages. Well clear of third. |
| 3 | 12 | HAPPY TANGO (D075) | H T Mo | B | Showed speed after start to improve & race outside the leader at first bend. Assumed narrow lead after cornering before being joined soon after, hampered when laying inwards near 200m before battling away to hold distant 3rd. |
| 4 | 10 | ROMANTIC TROVE (E007) | C Y Ho | TT1 | Raced very wide around first bend before being steadied & drifting back to third last to get cover. Continued a long way back on cornering before closing strongly in last 150m to just miss third. May need further. |
| 5 | 6 | NOBLE BOYZ (E156) | K Teetan | -- | Began only fairly before improving along rail to midfield. Continued along rail on straightening before only battling away to midfield. |
| 6 | 11 | CIGAR BUDDIES (D299) | M F Poon | CP/H | Raced behind leading trio in early stages before settling just better than midfield on rail at half-way. Hung out badly & checked away from heels at 600m turn. Finished only fairly to midfield in closing stages. (Must trial). |
| 7 | 3 | PHENOMENAL COMBO (D493) | H N Wong | -- | Limited early speed & raced worse than midfield on the rail throughout. Shifted away from the rail entering last section when just over 4L behind before maintaining margin in drive to line. |
| 8 | 5 | HELAKU KNIGHT (C328) | B Shinn | H | Began only fairly before improving slightly approaching first bend & ultimately settling in midfield away from rail. Moved three wide approaching the 400m mark when just over 3L behind before weakening out in final furlong. |
| 9 | 2 | TOP SCORE (V357) | A Badel | B2/TT | Inconvenienced at start before shifting back to race second from last. Continued near the rear entering last section, nearly 6L behind before making no real headway in straight & being well beaten. |
| 10 | 1 | CHAMP PATROL (D086) | K H Chan | H | Ridden forward to lead before crossing to rail near the 900m. Raced keenly in middle stages before being headed at the 300m & weakening poorly thereafter. (See report). |
| 11 | 7 | SACRED GIANT (E094) | T Piccone | -- | Began awkwardly before racing a clear last throughout. Shifted to be the widest runner on cornering before failing to make any noteworthy headway in dash to line. |
