Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 9 | OPTIC KING (CE139) | B Prebble | SR/CP | Made all, led by 1L on fence at 600 M, looked vulnerable about 250 M out but found enough to maintain a margin of about 1L inside final 200 M. |
| 2 | 8 | SUPER SPECIAL (CE225) | F Coetzee | H/TT | Had the run of the race on fence 2Ls off speed until home turn, stayed on okay but never likely to catch the winner. |
| 3 | 2 | RACING SPIRIT (CE105) | D Whyte | B/TT | Always in the front line about 1L off pace in 2nd or 3rd until home turn, upsides the winner and dangerous 250 M out, failed to follow through. |
| 4 | 10 | BEAMING RIVER (CB078) | W M Lai | -- | In 10th on fence about 4Ls off pace early on, never really threatened and only stayed on past a few beaten rivals late. |
| 5 | 1 | MILLION CHASE (CD132) | O Doleuze | B | Tucked in 2-wide and 2Ls off speed in midfield until home turn, had every hope but just lacked the gears. |
| 6 | 7 | PRIME MOVER (CG028) | K L Chui | TT | Worse than midfield about 3Ls or 4Ls off pace until home turn, gave ground steadily. |
| 7 | 12 | DRAGON INN (CE327) | M W Leung | B- | Always prominent but caught 3-wide throughout, 1L down in 3rd on straightening, folded soon after. |
| 8 | 3 | TO THE POINT (CG014) | D Nikolic | V | No early speed and about 6Ls down in 11th taking home turn, never got into it. |
| 9 | 6 | MASTER YING (CB249) | G Mosse | B | 4-wide (with cover) down the back straight about 1L off pace, over 2Ls down in midfield turning for home, petered out. |
| 10 | 4 | FASTER FASTER (CG010) | Y T Cheng | -- | Trapped six-wide (widest of all) without cover down the back straight, widest and further back taking final bend, emptied out at the 200 M. |
| 11 | 5 | WINNING CHAMP (CE233) | C W Wong | -- | Fractious in the gates and hopeless at the start losing about 10Ls instantly, never a factor. |
| 12 | 11 | A-TACK (CC343) | H W Lai | B2 | Caught 5-wide down the back straight when about 1L off the speed, lost his position on the circle and very weak in the home straight. |
