Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 4 | EASY (CG095) | Y T Cheng | -- | Always travelled well with cover in 5th or so about 3Ls off pace until the home turn, switched out to lead about 100 M out and edged clear for another tidy win. |
| 2 | 3 | FLYING SPRINTER (CD021) | H K Yim | B | Disputed early speed in 2-wide position, a neck down in 2nd at 600 M and 1L back in 2nd at top of home straight, led briefly at 200 M but soon grabbed by winner, hung on for 2nd. |
| 3 | 7 | LUCKY FRUIT (CG026) | B Prebble | B | 3-back on fence in midfield no worse than 3Ls off the speed before swinging into home straight, ran on fairly to take 3rd in final strides. |
| 4 | 11 | ALWAYS WELCOME (CC183) | D Whyte | V-/TT- | On fence 2Ls off pace in 3rd or 4th through first half, challenged for the lead at the 200 M, tightened for room on fence inside final 50 M and perhaps unlucky not to place. |
| 5 | 12 | ZAVONE (CG036) | S Dye | TT | Missed the start and soon 5Ls off pace in rear, a little further back on fence turning for home, ran on strongly inside final 200 M, never nearer. |
| 6 | 9 | SALUT BEAUTE (CB189) | K T Yeung | TT | In midfield with cover about 4Ls or 5Ls off the speed until home turn, stayed on only fairly without troubling those in the finish. |
| 7 | 8 | NAMJONG FIGHTERS (CG308) | W M Lai | -- | Promising debut, about 4Ls off pace and worse than midfield early on, slipped back further on the circle and staying on when forced to edge inside 200 M out, ran on. (See Racing Incidents.) |
| 8 | 1 | FLYING GENERAL (CB236) | K L Chui | SR | 8Ls last early on and not much closer turning for home, stayed on fairly well to be nearest at finish. |
| 9 | 5 | GLORY YEARS (CE023) | G Mosse | B | Towards rear out wide but with cover about 4Ls or 5Ls off the speed until home straight, made only very minor late progress. |
| 10 | 2 | CLASSA FOR EVER (CD085) | H W Lai | V | Slowly away, disputed early pace on fence, led by a neck at the 600 M and 1L clear taking home turn, grabbed by principals at the 200 M and weakened late. |
| 11 | 10 | INVERNESS (CD108) | C W Wong | SR-/B1/TT | Disputed early pace out 3-wide no cover, took a pull on the circle and 2Ls down in 4th turning for home, tired at the 200 M and faded late. (Lame next day.) |
| 12 | 6 | MY SAY (CH093) | D Nikolic | SR1/TT1 | Caught 4-wide no cover down the backstretch when within 2Ls of the speed, 4Ls down in midfield turning for home, faded gradually down centre of the straight. |
