Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 7 | EXPEDIENT (BT046) | E Legrix | -- | Went across by hug rail and dictate pace passing winning post first time. Always in command from then on and stayed on well to score. |
| 2 | 10 | SALUZI (CB147) | M W Leung | B- | Endeavoured to find position towards rail until crowded and steadied near winning post first time. 7Ls down on fence through to 200 M where it ran on well to be nearest at finish. |
| 3 | 4 | REWARD (BV116) | C Williams | SR | Prominent 3rd 3Ls off lead on rail. Looked a threat from the 200 M, shifted out running to the line, lost 2nd spot when no extra near the line. |
| 4 | 3 | HARMONY PARTNER (CB417) | S Dye | -- | Always in firing line tracking leader 2-wide, became unbalanced near the 600 M and dipped. Almost levelled up with leader turning in, soon unable to find extra and only plodded on. |
| 5 | 9 | BLUE STITCH (CB031) | O Doleuze | B/TT | Niggled to hug rail just forward of midfield 4 or 5Ls off pace. Made a little progress straightening up, soon one-paced. |
| 6 | 2 | NEW ASIANS (BT019) | D Whyte | -- | 2-wide with cover just in front midfield 4 or 5Ls off lead. Moved closer from 600 M to be 2Ls down on straightening, unable to sustain effort, tired close home. |
| 7 | 6 | MY HEART (BV020) | S K Sit | V | Ridden but only managed position just back of midfield 3-wide. Not much response when asked on straightening, ran past beaten runners late. |
| 8 | 1 | ABLE WIN (BV311) | A Marcus | B | Hard ridden early to find position near rear on fence. Steady progress through field from 800 M to be 4Ls down and 4-wide swinging into straight, effort not sustained and tired closing stages. |
| 9 | 5 | CITI CENTRE (CA281) | W C Marwing | -- | Bumped heavily on jumping and was towards rear throughout, never travelled. |
| 10 | 8 | SIXTY SECONDS (CB177) | G Schofield | B | Jumped very awkwardly and shifted in abruptly, at back throughout. |
| 11 | 12 | GORGEOUS YEARS (CB360) | K H Ting | -- | Driven and caught 4-wide around midfield, dropped towards rear reaching back straight, not a factor thereafter. |
| 12 | 11 | JUST TOO GOOD (CB150) | W M Lai | -- | From widest gate went forward and caught 3 or 4-wide amongst first few. Dropped away quickly approaching Rock and was eased down in straight. |
