Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 14 | BARRACUDA (CB320) | H W Lai | -- | Hard ridden to lead on fence by 2Ls at 1400 M, 1L ahead at 800 M and a neck ahead at final bend, briefly headed from 300 M to 250 M, soon back on terms and pulled away again gamely final 100 M. |
| 2 | 2 | VICTORY TURBO (CD320) | G Mosse | -- | 2-wide and 1L down in 2nd at 1300 M and at 800 M, a neck 2nd at home turn, briefly looked the winner when leading at 300 M, large weight concession to winner was too much to cope with. |
| 3 | 11 | DURABLE (CE190) | C K Tong | -- | Had the run of the race about 2Ls or so off the speed on fence from 1200 M to home straight, outpaced by quinella pair but still plugged on modestly for 3rd. |
| 4 | 12 | FORTUNE GOLD (CD343) | C Munce | -- | 2-wide and about 3Ls off the speed in 4th or 5th from 1300 M to home turn, all out at 200 M when same margin back in 4th, always one-paced but narrowly held from 3rd. |
| 5 | 3 | SUPER IDEAL (CC223) | G Schofield | -- | Slowly away, blundering when clipping heels, steadied at 1000 M when 7Ls off pace near rear, 6Ls down in 10th on straightening, made fair late ground past beaten rivals, nearest at finish. |
| 6 | 8 | WATCHMAN (CB327) | S Sanders | B/SR | 3-back on fence about 4Ls off speed at 1000 M in midfield, similar margin behind in 5th at final bend, much too one-paced to threaten front runners. |
| 7 | 13 | KING OF SPADES (CC056) | C W Wong | B | Slowly away, about 9Ls last at 1200 M and similar on straightening, kept on past a few stragglers inside final 100 M. |
| 8 | 1 | DOUBLE PLEASURE (CD069) | B Prebble | -- | Hindered at 1200 M when about 5Ls behind in midfield, similarly placed taking final bend, much too one-paced to figure. |
| 9 | 5 | SUNDAY DELIGHT (CC225) | S Dye | -- | Blundered at 1000 M on fence when in 9th place or so and 6Ls off speed, not much of a better position turning for home, never dangerous. |
| 10 | 4 | DESERT STRIKE (CB054) | C Brown | -- | In rear group and never better than 6Ls off the speed until home straight, made no impression. |
| 11 | 7 | MAIN ATTRACTION (CB218) | R Fradd | B | On fence early on but 3-wide with cover 6Ls behind leader in 10th at 1000 M, 4-wide (widest) turning for home when in a similar position, never on terms. |
| 12 | 6 | KNIGHT TEMPLAR (CC021) | Y T Cheng | CP | 3-wide with cover about 4Ls or 5Ls off speed in mid-division through to home straight, failed to show anything approaching a turn of foot. |
| 13 | 9 | CHARMING SPEEDY (CE186) | W M Lai | B | Always prominent about 2Ls off pace in 4th but 3-wide no cover through to the circle, struggling before final bend, faded markedly. |
| 14 | 10 | FIGS (CE141) | M W Leung | B | Slowly away, never better than 7Ls off pace from 1200 M to home turn, dropped out further. |
