Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 6 | JACK WIN (G155) | H Bowman | B/H/TT | Restrained in midfield along the fence, driven along 300M, did best work final 200M to get up just in time. |
| 2 | 1 | CHARMING STEED (E494) | K H Chan | TT | Ridden prominently, track leader into straight, responded well turning home, wrestled the lead near 50M but caught by winner just before line. |
| 3 | 8 | DAY DAY RICH (D231) | Z Purton | B/TT | Soon led, took them along at a steady pace, kept on well to maintain its lead on straightening, headed by first 2 near 50M, held on for 3rd just. |
| 4 | 5 | RAGING BLAZE (E258) | K Teetan | TT | Taken back to the rear, held up early straight before finishing well, almost claimed 3rd. (Bled 2nd time / Compulsory retirement.) |
| 5 | 7 | ALLOY KING (D287) | H Bentley | V | Broke well from draw 1 tracking the pace, fought hard on straightening but always held by leaders, raced in restricted room final 50M. |
| 6 | 10 | VIVA A LA (G282) | A Badel | H/P/TT | Taken hold of after the start, settled behind midfield and raced keenly in middle stages, wide into straight before closing off steadily over final 300M. |
| 7 | 2 | DRAGON KINGDOM (E211) | S De Sousa | -- | From draw 12 caught wide no cover chasing leaders throughout, ran on one paced in the straight. (Jockey : contemplated going forward and leading but was reluctant to do so carrying 134lb.) |
| 8 | 3 | MIRACLES (G083) | M Chadwick | B | Slow to begin, ended up racing at the rear, very wide into straight, closed off reasonably well final 300M. |
| 9 | 4 | SUNSHINE LEGENDARY (G214) | K C Leung | CP | Jumped awkwardly, settled towards the rear further back than intended, held up making the home turn, finished off only fairly. (Jockey : not suited by the early pace being run slightly slower than standard.) |
| 10 | 12 | SHENRON (E284) | M F Poon | H-/P-/XB-/B1/TT2 | Up with early pace before taking up a position ahead of midfield, not going the pace to challenge top of straight, soon beaten. |
| 11 | 11 | SMART COUSIN (D249) | V Borges | B-/V1 | Held up towards the rear, never travelled, hard pressed home turn but lacked a finishing kick. Never involved. |
| 12 | 9 | ENCORE (E450) | C Y Ho | B/TT | Settled 3-wide near the rear, wide into straight, couldn't finish off. |
