Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 9 | WOODFIRE BRO (G115) | M L Yeung | TT | Settled ahead of midfield 3-4Ls off leader, had some ground to make up 300M but dug deep to get home narrowly. |
| 2 | 12 | FLAMINGO TRILLION (H192) | K C Leung | -- | Held a forward position 3rd 2.5L on settling, loomed top of straight, drove hard to the line only to just miss out in a close finish. |
| 3 | 11 | RED HARE KING (H188) | M Chadwick | TT | Held up in mid-division on the inside, drifted away from fence 450M, found the line well but just held by first two. |
| 4 | 6 | OUTGATE (H113) | Y L Chung | H/TT | Settled down midfield along the 2-path, swung wide for home then came with a big run from off the pace, nearest line. |
| 5 | 8 | CHILL CHIBI (H109) | C L Chau | B1/TT | Not hurried after the start, dropped back to race towards the rear 8-9Ls off the pace, closed off nicely when asked, coming from well back to be nearest at the finish. |
| 6 | 1 | MOMENTS IN TIME (H474) | H Bowman | TT | Caught racing 3-wide after the start before moving up to race outside leader, travelled well going into home turn, fought hard under top weight after taking the lead but unable to hold off rivals late stages. |
| 7 | 5 | MR ASCENDENCY (G227) | H Bentley | TT | Reserved in the second half of the field, gave limited response turning home, never a winning hope. |
| 8 | 2 | HELENE FEELING (H215) | Z Purton | CP-/B2/TT | From wide draw restrained to a rearward position, was commencing to finish off the race but became held up from 150M to 50M. Could do better. |
| 9 | 3 | TELECOM FIGHTERS (D482) | E C W Wong | -- | Chased leaders, loomed up top of straight but didn't go on with it, tired passing 200M. |
| 10 | 4 | FLAMING RABBIT (H257) | L Ferraris | SR-/B1/TT | Jumped only fairly and then was crowded shortly after the start, settled towards the rear further back than usual, could not muster any sort of challenge in the straight. |
| 11 | 7 | YELLOWFIN (G326) | L Hewitson | XB | Pressed on to lead 1L on settling, soon came under pressure when a rival moved up alongside nearing 500M, went backwards 250M. (Performance considered disappointing.) |
| 12 | 10 | NATURAL STORM (C461) | A Hamelin | B | Dropped back from wide draw, soon detached from the field, never in contention. (Jockey concerned there may be something amiss and didn't fully test his mount. / Unacceptable Performance.) |
