| 1 | 7 | KA YING CHEER (H369) | M L Yeung | CP1 | Showed speed to lead. Was joined by the runner-up near the 250m mark before engaging in a two horse battle for the entire last furlong where he dug very deep to get his nose in front on the line. First two clear of third. |
| 2 | 1 | LADY'S CHOICE (H155) | Z Purton | B/H | Raced forward of midfield after the start but was left three wide around the bend & was then without cover from the 800m. Dashed to join lead near the 250m, battled in a two horse war in last furlong, just missed out line. |
| 3 | 4 | PINS PRINCE (G013) | H Bowman | H/P/TT | Had a nice run 1,1 for the majority. Was just over a length from the lead on straightening when third, battled away to hold third placing but was a full 2L behind the first two. |
| 4 | 12 | NOBLE ONE (G278) | A Badel | B | Raced in midfield when three wide with cover throughout. Was just over 2L from the lead on straightening & finished off steadily all the way to the line to hold fourth but like the others was no match for the first two. |
| 5 | 8 | SUPER WISE DRAGON (G475) | M Chadwick | TT | Steadied & taken back to race just worse than midfield when three wide with cover. Shifted outwards on cornering, was the widest runner on straightening when 3.5L from lead before finishing off steadily down the outside late. |
| 6 | 2 | SIGHT HERO (D487) | L Currie | B/TT | Was third last soon after the start before improving along the rail to be worse than midfield around bend. Had head on the side passing 700m, stayed close to the rail in the straight before passing a few tiring rivals late. |
| 7 | 10 | BULB PRINCE (G179) | A Hamelin | H/TT | Raced in midfield between runners early before drifting further back from the 700m. Had clear running on straightening when 4.5L from the lead before passing a few tiring rivals to run onto midfield without threatening. |
| 8 | 3 | NISHIKADO (H172) | K Teetan | B | Raced in midfield between runners throughout. Was ridden along before straightening, was only 3L behind at the 400m but weakened meekly in last furlong to be beaten 5.5L. |
| 9 | 5 | YOUNG LIFE FOREVER (G308) | H Bentley | -- | Had a soft run in the leaders back throughout. Was only 2L from the lead on straightening but gave up easily in the straight & weakened pretty poorly to be beaten 6L. |
| 10 | 11 | DUBLIN STAR (C436) | M F Poon | B/TT | Didn't begin fast & was last after the start before sharing that position from the 750m when racing along the rail. Was 5.5L from the lead entering final section before doing nothing in the run home. |
| 11 | 9 | SIMPLY MAVERICK (H346) | K De Melo | B | Ridden forward after the start, improved to second near after the first 150m when racing wide, shifted in to be two wide outside the leader from the 850m. Was beaten soon after straightening & weakened badly in straight. |
| 12 | 6 | BEAUTY UNITY (H414) | K C Leung | XB1/TT1 | Was slow to begin with rider losing his near side iron for the first 150m and races second last. Shared last place from the 800m when racing quite keenly. Did nothing in the straight & was a long last. |
