Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 11 | SMILING COLLECTOR (G128) | H Bentley | XB/CP1 | Crowded at the start, restrained in mid-division, raced keenly 1000M, wide into straight then quickened up strongly to lead near 200M, fought hard late to hold off runner-up by nose. |
| 2 | 8 | FORERUNNER (G465) | H Bowman | TT | Crowded for room at start, held up in midfield, shifted to outside for clear running 250M and charged at leader late, just denied by a nose. Clear from remainders. |
| 3 | 7 | GRAND BOSS (J353) | M F Poon | CP/TT | Restrained to race in a position ahead of midfield, close enough turning in, responded well 300M and challenged for the lead mid-straight, not pace of first 2 late. |
| 4 | 10 | HAPPY DAILY (E294) | C Y Ho | CP-/TT | Unable to slot in, raced wide no cover behind mid-division, swung very wide into straight, battled on to take 4th without troubling the runaway front pair. |
| 5 | 4 | EMBRACES (J276) | C L Chau | TT | Jumped only fairly, settled towards the rear on inside, had difficulty obtaining clear running until 300M, ran on well to take 5th although no match for first two. |
| 6 | 5 | SOLID WIN (J225) | A Atzeni | TT | Slow out, held up towards the rear, was commencing to finish off the race when checked 200M and lost momentum, ran on again late. Could do better. |
| 7 | 12 | FIGHT TIME (H409) | B Avdulla | B/TT | Jumped on terms, settled down in midfield but never far off leaders, kept battling to the line but couldn't quicken enough to challenge first two. Finished 7th but only a neck behind the 3rd. |
| 8 | 14 | MR ALADDIN (H386) | A Badel | V-/B2/TT1 | From wide draw given a quiet ride and settled further back than its most recent starts, had task in hand turning for home, stayed on mildly and was never a winning hope. |
| 9 | 9 | GALLANT CROWN (D359) | K Teetan | B/TT | Chased leaders 2-wide, moved up to challenge early straight and had every chance, outsprinted by rivals final 150M. |
| 10 | 3 | PINS PRINCE (G013) | A Hamelin | H/P/TT | Jumped awkwardly and lost ground, raced ungenerously near the rear and refused to settle, lacked finishing response final 400M. Never dangerous. |
| 11 | 1 | MY FLYING ANGEL (J174) | Z Purton | CP | From wide draw moved forward to be vying the pace on outside, emerged as clear leader 500M, continued well early straight, but run ended 250M, no extra late stages. |
| 12 | 6 | WAR OF COURAGE (C483) | K H Chan | B | Bumped at the start, up with early pace before taking a trailing spot behind leaders, couldn't go on passing 300M, faded away. |
| 13 | 2 | MARADO (E245) | L Hewitson | B2 | Outpaced early stages, raced in detached last, failed to finish off the race. Never in the picture. (Jockey : failed to travel at any stage.) |
| 14 | 13 | RIVER VIEWS (G212) | Y L Chung | B2 | Went forward, emerged as co-leader passing 1000M, couldn't keep up on straightening, weakened to last. |
