| 1 | 10 | LO RIDER (K161) | H Bentley | H/SR1 | From draw 1 stayed close enough behind leaders, switched to 2-wide 800M, picked up nicely leaving home turn, hit lead inside 200M and kept on well to the finish. Held off runner-up comfortably late stages. |
| 2 | 4 | ENCOUNTERED (G236) | K Teetan | TT- | Restrained in a position behind midfield about 7Ls off the pace, driven nearing 400M, closed off fastest in the straight, went 2nd near 100M but couldn't down reel in the winner. |
| 3 | 6 | SOLEIL FIGHTER (J127) | Z Purton | CP-/XB | Pressed forward tracking leader along the 2-path, pace fast for the first half of the race, took over near 400M and was all out to win, caught by winner inside 200M before losing 2nd spot 100M from home. |
| 4 | 7 | STEPS AHEAD (J263) | L Hewitson | B | Reserved in mid-division, made his move passing 500M, responded well initially and went 3rd early straight, became one-paced final 200M. |
| 5 | 8 | JUMBO LEGEND (G266) | C Y Ho | TT | Eased back to a rearward position about 8Ls off the fast pace, brought widest into straight for his challenge, stayed on moderately without threatening first two. |

| 7 | 9 | KEEFY (G306) | E C W Wong | -- | Held up in midfield along the inside, 4-5Ls off the fast pace, moved closer home turn but kept on at same pace only over final 400M. |
| 8 | 11 | BRAVEHEARTS (H389) | M F Poon | -- | Jumped only fairly, settled in second half of the field 8-9Ls off the fast pace, travelled well enough into straight but the finishing response was only fair. Crowded for room 100M but not going to trouble leaders. |
| 9 | 2 | VOYAGE SAMURAI (J026) | K C Leung | B | Bumped at the start, driven forward to take lead going into the first turn, set fast pace to 800M before slowing down the tempo, came under pressure 400M, soon weakened. |
| 10 | 3 | TELECOM FIGHTERS (D482) | M Chadwick | -- | Went forward chasing leader, pace fast for the first half of the race, came up empty passing 300M, weakened rapidly towards the finish. |
| 11 | 5 | LA CITY BLANCHE (G371) | Y L Chung | TT | Switched off to last on jumping from wide barrier, over 10Ls off leader on settling, always well behind and never got into the race. |
