| 1 | 7 | PING HAI GALAXY (C377) | A Badel | -- | Quickly into stride, led them along at good pace, kicked clear passing 300M, kept on strongly to the line, eased off late when well in control. |
| 2 | 5 | BEAUTY GLORY (E459) | L Ferraris | H/TT | From draw 12 went forward as expected, tracked leader in a fast run race, tried on inside 300M but couldn't quite peg back the winner. Finished well clear from remainders. |
| 3 | 2 | NAMJONG SINGS (C480) | H Bentley | B | Failed to muster speed despite ridden along, held up behind midfield, stayed on mildly over final 300M, got up for 3rd late but never dangerous to first 2. |
| 4 | 11 | HIGH CLOUD (G351) | R Maia | SR/XB | In 4th place on settling, saved ground on inside, fought on one paced turning home, never able to challenge first 2. |
| 5 | 12 | LYRICAL MOTION (G081) | M Chadwick | CP/TT | In 3rd place never far off from leader, kept on same pace turning home, lost 3rd inside 100M. |
| 6 | 3 | ARMOUR EAGLE (G093) | C Y Ho | B-/TT | Settled down in midfield, 3-wide without cover, battled on fairly in the straight, never a threat to first 2. |
| 7 | 8 | WIND N GRASS (D197) | M F Poon | TT | From wide draw taken across behind runners, held up near last along the inside, ran on fairly passing 400M, never threatened. |
| 8 | 10 | EQUILIBRIUM TURBO (E195) | L Hewitson | CP/H | Began only fairly, restrained to race in last, 9Ls to make up 400M, shifted out 300M for clear running, ran past beaten horses only. |
| 9 | 4 | RISING FROM ASHES (G209) | J Moreira | CP/H/TT | Shifted across behind runners to obtain cover in a rearward position, found less than expected when driven out 400M, never dangerous. (Intermittent displacement of the soft palate.) |
| 10 | 6 | CLASSIC POSH (C327) | L Currie | -- | Up with early pace before dropping back to race in midfield, came under pressure prior to 500M, didn't finish off in the straight. |
| 11 | 9 | DIAMOND BRILLIANT (B372) | C L Chau | TT | Jumped on terms, dropped back towards the rear, driven out 400M, never going the pace to challenge. (Lame next day.) |
| 12 | 1 | THE RUNNER (D042) | Z Purton | V | Unable to slot in from draw 11, caught racing 3-wide behind midfield, lay out home turn and early straight, failed to close off. |
