| 1 | 1 | KOWLOON EAST STAR (E158) | M Chadwick | H/SR/TT | Showed dazzling early speed to come across the face of the field from gate 10 to lead. Held around a 2L advantage at half-way, continued clear of rivals in the straight & held off late closers in fast time. |
| 2 | 9 | RAGING BLAZE (E258) | K C Leung | TT | Slightly outpaced after the start & raced worse than midfield on the rail. Moved away from the rail & into clear running on straightening before finishing strongly in late stages to move to fast finishing second late. |
| 3 | 6 | TRONIC MIGHTY (E210) | C Y Ho | V/XB/TT | Pushed forward before getting nice position 1,1 from the first bend. Battled on well all the way to the line to only be beaten 1.25L into third. |
| 4 | 10 | DAY DAY RICH (D231) | C L Chau | B/TT | Raced third along the rail after being crossed by the leader. Stayed along the inside on straightening, was hard ridden but only battled on for well beaten fourth (blood in trachea post-race). |
| 5 | 8 | U W BROTHER (C389) | M L Yeung | -- | Pushed forward but didn't have the speed of the leader. Raced second, and about 2L behind around the bend. Battled on before peaking on run passing the 150m, passed for minor money in last 100m. |

| 7 | 4 | SMART FOLKS (D343) | L Ferraris | B/SR | Outpaced after the start & raced worse than midfield between runners. Was just under 4L behind approaching the corner, shifted second widest before making some headway when running onto non-threatening midfield finish. |
| 8 | 2 | UNIVERSAL CROWN (D240) | K Teetan | B | Outpaced after the start & niggled along down the back straight to hold position second last along rail. Stayed along the rail on straightening before passing one or two tiring rivals late (mucus in trachea, lame next day). |
