Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 6 | LUCKY HERO (CH135) | D Beadman | -- | Amongst first to jump, pressed on and raced outside leader, had an easy time with steady tempo, a length down turning, kept to task and asserted authority late to score. |
| 2 | 10 | MACHO EXPRESSO (CH261) | F Coetzee | -- | Began well, had natural speed to take up running, dictated terms in front, held a 1L advantage turning, kicked strongly but just ran out of condition late to hold off challenger. |
| 3 | 4 | STEP TO WIN (CG167) | K T Yeung | B/TT | Jumped nicely, took up box seat on leaders back, had run of race thereafter but overraced with steady speed, angled around horses turning and lost some advantage, came again late to go down in 3 way go. |
| 4 | 3 | BOLD WIN (CE282) | G Boss | B | Reasonable jump, ended up 4Ls back in running line. Had a soft trip but not advantaged by tempo, eased out on turning, made some solid progress without looking likely to make frame. |
| 5 | 5 | FOREVER FIGHT (CH250) | Z Purton | B | Even jump, pressed on to assume 1 out 1 back role, had a good trip 2Ls back on bend with standard pace, eased out leaving turn, couldn't match first 3 but battled on fairly nevertheless. |
| 6 | 8 | GOAL KEEPER (CH277) | O Doleuze | -- | Little speed from outset, ended up 5Ls back in running line, not helped by slow pace, well back turning, into clear from 250 M and closed nicely to be nearest on line. |
| 7 | 2 | BEAUTIFUL DREAMER (CH108) | K L Chui | -- | Even break, took a midfield berth 3 to 4Ls back on rails, had a soft run, saved ground on bend, between horses turning, only managed one speed in straight. Better effort but had all favours. |
| 8 | 1 | JOYFUL YEARS (CG143) | H W Lai | -- | No speed from outset, took up spot at tail 7 to 8Ls away, disadvantaged by slow speed at top end, still last turning, made good progress down outside from an impossible spot. |
| 9 | 14 | OPERA MAGIC (CB404) | S K Sit | -- | Standard jump, lacked early speed and ended up towards rear 3 wide, raced 7Ls back and made 4 wide run on circle, progressed to 200 M before flattened. |
| 10 | 11 | RICH DRAGON (CG079) | C K Tong | V | No pace from outset, raced 2 wide 8Ls back, harmed by slow pace, hampered on bend and 3 wide thereafter, set too big a task on turning, didn't close off. |
| 11 | 13 | TYCOON TAYLOR (CH288) | Y T Cheng | -- | Out only fairly, drifted back to race behind midfield, always 3 wide without cover, 5Ls back on bend, struggling on turning and faded out of it after covering ground. |
| 12 | 9 | STILTON (CG173) | W M Lai | CP | Out with rest, allowed to drift back to race behind midfield on rails, raced a little keen and not helped by average pace, kept to rails in straight but lacked usual finish just battling to line. |
| 13 | 12 | SUPER MUSIC (CG248) | A Delpech | B/TT | Ordinary jump, raced in rear division, raced 7Ls back on fence throughout, saved ground on bend but harmed by tempo, failed to run on in straight. ("Roarer".) |
