Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 12 | STAR CONTACT (E472) | L Hewitson | CP/TT | Chased leader, gave good response passing 400M, led 250M out, continued on well and was in total command final stages. |
| 2 | 2 | TOURBILLON PRINCE (H122) | L Ferraris | TT | Sped to early lead, steadied the pace from 1100M but still enjoyed uncontested lead, caught by winner 250M, kept on well enough to hold 2nd. |
| 3 | 9 | EIGHTEEN PALMS (H033) | A Badel | B/TT | Up with early pace before settling down in 4th, battled on steadily over final 300M, always held by leaders. |
| 4 | 6 | ALL BEAUTY (E355) | J McDonald | -- | Restrained to a position behind midfield, gave a mild response final 300M, just missed 3rd. |
| 5 | 5 | SIXTH GENERATION (G120) | K C Leung | B-/H/TT | Given a waiting ride towards the rear, raced a shade keenly middle stages with the sectional time being outside of standard, kept on moderately without threat in the straight. |
| 6 | 7 | STORM LEGEND (G139) | K De Melo | -- | Switched off to race at the rear 8Ls off the pace, made limited progress final 300M, not reach leaders. |
| 7 | 8 | D STAR (G374) | M F Poon | B/TT | Caught wide in midfield early stages, moved up to 3rd 1100M, not going the pace to challenge turning for home, never a serious threat to leaders. |
| 8 | 4 | QUANTUM PATCH (H166) | C L Chau | -- | Settled behind mid-division, raced wide without cover from 1300M, swung wide for home but found disappointing little in the finish. (No vet findings.) |
| 9 | 1 | SILVER SONIC (H171) | Z Purton | XB | Held up in midfield, failed to finish off final 400M, ran home same pace. Performance considered to be disappointing. (Jockey : not suited by the race being run at a more genuine pace compared to last start.) |
| 10 | 3 | LOYAL BABY (E130) | M Chadwick | H/TT | Jumped on terms, restrained to race towards the rear, pushed along 500M but not quickened. Never a threat. |
| 11 | 11 | RED ACLAIM (J017) | A Atzeni | P-/TT | Settled down behind midfield, struggled to keep up 500M, soon left behind by rivals top of straight. |
| 12 | 10 | PRECISE EXPRESS (D198) | H T Mo | H | Dropped back to race at the rear 8Ls off the pace, failed to respond when urged along 400M, never in the picture. |
