| 1 | 2 | BRAVE STAR (G268) | C Y Ho | XB | Jumped on terms before moving up to track leaders along the 2-path, quickened up strongly inside 300M, got up nearing 50M for three consecutive wins. |
| 2 | 11 | GOKO WIN (H069) | M Chadwick | B | Jumped only fairly and shortly after the start was crowded by a rival, ended up racing behind midfield, closed off well final 300M down the inside, just denied. |
| 3 | 1 | FULL CREDIT (J185) | L Hewitson | -- | Vied for early lead before emerging as clear leader halfway, kept on well under top weight on straightening only to be overpowered by first two close home. |
| 4 | 6 | LUCKY EIGHT (G204) | C L Chau | -- | Taken back to near the rear on jumping from wide draw, swung widest home before finishing off fastest to take 4th. Nearest finish. |
| 5 | 10 | AURORA LADY (J066) | Z Purton | CP/TT | Shifted out at the start and was bumped, obtained a midfield position but raced keenly and refused to settle in early and middle stages, found less than expected in the finish but nevertheless a good effort. |
| 6 | 4 | CHATEAUNEUF (J219) | K Teetan | B/TT | Taken back from wide draw, settled in second half of the field 5Ls back, finished off well enough final 300M and not beaten far at the finish. |
| 7 | 5 | POWER KOEPP (E301) | L Ferraris | B/E | From wide draw switched off to race at the rear, raced keenly middle stages, brought wide to the straight before finishing off mildly. Not reach leaders. |

| 9 | 3 | NORDIC DRAGON (G467) | H Bowman | B/TT | Jumped only fairly and then was crowded for room after the start, settled at the rear of the field 6-7Ls away, kept to inside on straightening but failed to finish off. (Jockey : hung in and proved difficult to ride out.) |
| 10 | 8 | LUCKY ARCHANGEL (E385) | M F Poon | B/XB | Jumped well, restrained in mid-division and raced wide no cover for the majority of the race, had little left on straightening and was never a serious threat. |
| 11 | 9 | PARTERRE (E234) | K De Melo | B | Away fast but soon restrained to race in midfield, brought wide on straightening but lacked a finishing effort final 300M. |
| 12 | 12 | RIDING HIGH (J403) | Y L Chung | TT | Close up chasing leaders, under the pump home turn, soon no extra and dropped out of the race. |
