Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 10 | BUDDIES POWER (CB201) | K T Yeung | B/TT | Box run on fence 2Ls back in 2nd at 1100 M, same margin back in 3rd taking home turn, dug in well to lead 150 M out, all out to scrape in. |
| 2 | 7 | TRIUMPH (CC214) | D Whyte | V | Went from gate 12 to fence, 6Ls off pace in 10th at 1100 M, moved 5-wide (widest of all) turning for home over 4Ls down in mid-division, every chance to score but no extra late, just failed. |
| 3 | 11 | HONEST TREASURE (CE200) | K L Chui | B/TT | Well placed on fence from 3rd to 5th place between 2Ls and 3Ls from the speed until home turn, lacked acceleration and still 1L down in 5th at 200 M, plugged on for a place. |
| 4 | 6 | MASTER DREAMER (CE293) | W M Lai | B | Failed to muster much early speed, 8Ls back in 11th at 1200 M, 5Ls back in about 8th or 9th taking home turn, stayed on well late, nearest at finish. |
| 5 | 8 | NICKU NICKU (CC372) | M Odendaal | SR | 5Ls off pace in midfield on fence at 1100 M, head up and tight for room turning for home when 5Ls back in 10th, only into clear running at 200 M, finished strongly, never nearer. |
| 6 | 9 | WATCHMAN (CB327) | P H Lo | B/SR | Caught 3-wide no cover 4Ls off pace in 5th at 1100 M, pressed on to go a neck down in 2nd on straightening, disputing the lead at 200 M but flagged late and missed a place. |
| 7 | 3 | QI'S PET (CD321) | G Mosse | B | Slow to muster early pace, 5Ls from the lead in 9th at 1200 M when 2-wide, unbalanced at 600 M but slightly closer taking home turn, one-paced in the finish. |
| 8 | 12 | LA MERVEILLE (CC205) | M Nunes | B | Always prominent, 4Ls down in 6th at 1200 M, niggled along from 500 M to go over 2Ls down in 4th taking home turn, outpaced thereafter. |
| 9 | 1 | LIAOBUQI (CE018) | C K Tong | V/TT | On fence back in 4th about 4Ls behind lead at 1100 M, became unbalanced when steadied at 600 M and lost momentum, 5Ls back in 11th taking home turn, finished tamely. |
| 10 | 5 | SHINING DRAGON (CC181) | O Doleuze | SR | Led by 1L on fence passing winning post for first time, 2Ls clear at 1000 M, a neck in front taking final bend, grabbed over 200 M out and quickly folded. |
| 11 | 4 | NAMJONG MONEY (CG176) | H W Lai | B | Poor performance, always struggling detached in rear about 10Ls off pace, never a factor. (Jockey Injured.) |
| 12 | 2 | PRIMIATA (CG226) | Y T Cheng | SR/TT | 3-wide with cover in 8th when 5Ls off pace at 1200 M, 3Ls back in midfield entering homestretch when 4-wide, found zero under pressure. |
