Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 6 | SHARPEN BRIGHT (H276) | K Teetan | B | Stayed in touch with leaders throughout, in 3rd place from 1000M, bustled along 500M, quickened up nicely to lead near 200M, kept battling under pressure for 2nd win over course and distance. |
| 2 | 4 | SERANGOON (H296) | H Bentley | CP/TT | Taken back from wide draw, given a waiting ride at the rear, swung widest for home before running on strongly to claim 2nd inside 100M. Couldn't quite get to the winner. |
| 3 | 1 | INTREPID WINNER (G144) | K De Melo | B | Bumped at the start, maintained a position in midfield, finished off moderately final 400M but posed little threat to first two. |
| 4 | 8 | SUPER HONG KONG (D241) | M Chadwick | B/TT- | Jumped only fairly, recovered to race behind midfield 5-6Ls off leader, pushed along 500M, stayed on to claim 4th without threatening. |
| 5 | 3 | ROMANTIC FANTASY (H168) | Y L Chung | B/TT | Jumped awkwardly, settled down midfield but no closer than 3-wide during the race, ran on mildly turning for home, lay in and difficult to ride out final stages. Never a winning hope. |
| 6 | 11 | ABSOLUTE SUNSHINE (H342) | M L Yeung | TT | Dropped back to the rear, 8-9Ls off leader middle stages, saved ground on the inside throughout, stayed on fairly final 300M. Never threaten. |
| 7 | 10 | CHATEAU LE PECHE (H471) | A Badel | B | Strode forward nearing 2000M to take the lead, set steady pace, under pressure to maintain the lead 550M, headed near 200M, no extra late stages. |
| 8 | 7 | PRECISE EXPRESS (D198) | A Atzeni | H | Settled towards the rear, held up for clear running making the home turn, had some work to do top of straight but managed to run past beaten rivals only. |
| 9 | 2 | BILLIONAIRE SECRET (G303) | Z Purton | H/PC/XB | Settled down midfield along the inside, little change middle stages, in touch turning for home but couldn't quicken enough, no extra 150M. (Jockey : no explanation for disappointing performance.) |
| 10 | 5 | REACH GOAL (G067) | L Hewitson | TT | Jumped only fairly, held up towards the rear 6-7Ls behind leader, couldn't go on 250M. (Jockey : disappointing in its failure to respond to his riding in home straight.) |
| 11 | 9 | LEGION OF MERIT (D419) | B Thompson | B/TT | Obtained a position outside the lead early stages, driven passing 500M but was gone mid-straight. (Jockey: failed to change its lead leg in home straight and gave ground.) |
| 12 | 12 | RUNNING BOY (J041) | C Y Ho | XB | Never far off leaders but raced wide without cover throughout, under pressure from 600M and gave ground before weakening badly in the straight. Finished tailed out. |
