Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 11 | DRAGON INN (CE327) | D Whyte | V | Caught 3-wide no cover early but slipped into 2-wide position about 2Ls back in 3rd at 800 M, pressed on to lead 250 M out, always doing enough to score. |
| 2 | 1 | COP HILL LAD (CD292) | O Doleuze | CP1 | 7Ls off pace in 9th when 2-wide at midpoint of race, 3Ls down in 6th at home bend, over 1L back in 3rd at the 200 M, stayed on well but never reached the winner. |
| 3 | 5 | DONGGUAN VICTORY (CB382) | M W Leung | -- | Slowest away losing about 3Ls at start, 7Ls off pace on fence in 8th at the 700 M, improved to 2Ls back in 4th making home bend, stayed on at the same pace for 3rd. |
| 4 | 4 | WITHALLMYHEART (CE268) | W M Lai | B-/TT | Disputed the pace out 2-wide until home turn, a neck down in 2nd behind winner at the 200 M, tired in final stages. |
| 5 | 2 | VITAL PATROL (CC335) | D Beadman | -- | Settled 8Ls off pace when one from rear at the 800 M, only marginally closer taking final bend, made only moderate late headway. |
| 6 | 9 | SPY KING (CE205) | H W Lai | V/TT | 4Ls back in 5th out 2-wide at the 800 M, left 3-wide without cover at 600 M and 4Ls down in 7th entering homestretch, stayed on at the same pace. |
| 7 | 6 | DIAMOND FLYER (CG199) | G Mosse | B-/TT | Soon settled 6Ls last and further back at halfway, 5-wide (widest of all) into home straight when 7Ls last, made no significant late headway. (See Racing Incidents.) |
| 8 | 10 | DOUBLE FANTASY (CG141) | F Coetzee | B | Keen early on, towards rear about 6Ls off pace down back straight, not much closer on straightening, never troubled principals. |
| 9 | 3 | ARISTOCRACY (CG070) | Z Purton | -- | 3-back on fence when 3Ls off speed in 4th at the 800 M, 2Ls down in 4th making home turn, no further impression until 200 M out and faded final stages. |
| 10 | 8 | MULTI-WIN SPIRIT (CG137) | S K Sit | XB/TT | Left 3-wide without cover at the 800 M when 4Ls off pace at the 1000 M, worse off making home turn, very one-paced. |
| 11 | 12 | KING PALM (CC118) | Y T Cheng | B | Always worse than midfield about 6Ls off pace down back straight, never likely to land a blow. |
| 12 | 7 | LUCKY MAN (CG061) | P H Lo | B | Disputed the pace on fence until home turn, left behind from about 300 M out. |
