| 1 | 4 | SUPER HONG KONG (D241) | J Moreira | B/TT | Crowded at start & settled second last. Began to improve from 700m, raced to midfield & was 4L behind entering last section, hampered early in straight before dashing between runners to take lead inside 100m, drew away late. |
| 2 | 5 | SUCCESS ALLSTARS (D065) | M Chadwick | B | Raced in midfield before drifting further back & relegated to third last at 550m. Crowded, checked & lost ground near 400m before shifting wider & finishing very strongly in concluding stages to snare unlucky second on line. |
| 3 | 3 | WAH MAY LUCK (E086) | M F Poon | B/TT | Had a nice run on leaders back throughout. Moved over the leader's heels on straightening, moved to second place passing the 100m mark before caught for that place on line by fast finisher, only 1 length behind. |
| 4 | 6 | INCREDIBLE (B477) | M L Yeung | TT | Pushed forward after start to assume lead. Continue in lead until headed inside the final 100m, weakened slightly to hold 4th, just over 2L behind. |
| 5 | 7 | THIS IS CHARISMA (D102) | Z Purton | CP | Raced worse than midfield early before improving along rail to midfield in middle stages. Improved between runners 450m, travelled strongly but had limited room until getting out at 150m & finishing only fairly thereafter. |
| 6 | 8 | DIAMOND STAR (D017) | A Hamelin | E/TT | Shifted across behind runners after the start & raced third last on rail. Moved away from the rail nearing the 400m when 4.5L behind, was awkwardly placed between runners at 250m before finishing off evenly in closing stages. |
| 7 | 10 | VIRTUS STAR (B395) | L Hewitson | TT | Raced in midfield along the rail throughout. Entered last section under 3L behind, stayed along rail in straight but peaked mid-straight & gave a few length in last furlong. |
| 8 | 12 | SMILING FACE (D192) | H W Lai | B-/SR1/TT1 | Shifted across behind runners after start & settled last. Improved slightly along rail passing 500m, checked away from heels when awkwardly placed near 400m, stayed along the inside in the straight but failed to challenge. |
| 9 | 2 | TELECOM CHEETAH (D405) | B Shinn | B/TT | Pushed forward to race at the leaders flanks throughout. Was beaten on straightening & weakened out in the run to the line to be nearly 6L behind. |
| 10 | 1 | TAILOR MADE (C522) | K H Chan | TT | Raced wide in midfield around first bend before getting position away from the rail with cover from the 1100m. Shifted 3 wide approaching 500m, was the widest on straightening before weakening out quickly in last furlong. |
| 11 | 9 | GRAND POWER (E017) | H T Mo | B | Failed to muster speed at the start & consequently raced rearward. Was relegated to last near the 650m, was a clear last on straightening & made no impression in straight. |
| 12 | 11 | WHO'S HORSE (C233) | V Borges | B/XB/TT | Obtained good position 1,1 from the 1200m. Moved three wide at the 450m, hung inwards on straightening when under 3L behind before weakening out poorly in final 250m. Last. |
