| 1 | 4 | HIGHLAND DAWN (CC138) | E Saint-Martin | B | 3-back on fence about 4Ls off pace in midfield early on, niggled along to take closer order at 600 M, 3Ls down in 6th entering home straight, stayed on well to lead 100 M out, readily. |
| 2 | 11 | KAO AND MING (CD023) | B Prebble | B | Coldly ridden 6Ls off pace in 10th early, made some progress on the circle, no chance with winner but still ran on strongly in stretch to take 2nd on the line. |
| 3 | 3 | CIRCULAR MACHINE (CG049) | S Dye | -- | Disputed lead at a fairly strong tempo on fence until home straight, driven 1L at the 200 M, grabbed by winner 100 M and lost out on 2nd place on the line. |
| 4 | 6 | FLY ME TO THE MOON (CG104) | D Whyte | -- | Bumped at start, prominently placed about 2Ls off pace on fence in 4th or so until entering home stretch but short of room, hard ridden to improve at 200 M, one-paced close home. |
| 5 | 5 | GANBARIA (CE052) | Y T Cheng | SR | Briefly 3-wide no cover at 700 M when 2Ls off pace in mid-division or better, gained cover on circle but lost position, 4Ls down in 7th turning for home, outpaced by principals in the finish. |
| 6 | 1 | DANEMAN HILL (CD374) | C Soumillon | P | 2-wide and within 4Ls of the speed in 4th or so until taking final bend, same margin behind and hard ridden at 200 M, no extra inside final 100 M. |
| 7 | 7 | LA TACHE (CG075) | A Delpech | -- | Slowest away, in rear about 8Ls off the pace through first half of race, 5Ls down in 8th at the 200 M, never troubled principals. |
| 8 | 9 | SUNRISE STRIKER (CE278) | C W Wong | H1 | 2-wide in midfield but no better than 4Ls off the pace until the 600 M, hard ridden to improve taking final bend, never dangerous. |
| 9 | 10 | SOUTH CHINA NINETY (CA174) | H W Lai | B | Awkwardly away and switched from wide gate closer to fence at rear of field, 8Ls last turning for home, never figured. |
| 10 | 12 | MIRACLE DRAGON (CD254) | C K Tong | B | 5Ls off pace in 9th at 800 M, struggling to draw any closer taking home turn, soon beaten. |
| 11 | 8 | HAPPY SUNDAY (CE169) | G Mosse | B2 | Disputed lead out 4-wide no cover at 1000 M, 2-wide at 700 M and still sharing lead, all out to be 1L down in 2nd at 200 M, gave ground quickly thereafter. (Mucopus and displaced soft palete.) |
| 12 | 2 | GOLDEN WIN (CE062) | W M Lai | SR | 2Ls off pace in 3rd at 800 M, 4-wide on straightening when 3Ls back in 5th, very weak in concluding stages. |
