| 1 | 8 | WAIT FOR ME (CE332) | C W Wong | TT | Settled one from rear about 8Ls off pace at the 1200 M, about 5Ls down in 11th making final turn, picked up nicely to lead at the 200 M and stayed on well to score. |
| 2 | 1 | EMBRACES (CH175) | A Delpech | -- | 5Ls off pace in 9th at the 1100 M, 4Ls down but 5-wide (widest of all) turning for home, ran on strongly but couldn't quite get to grips with the winner. |
| 3 | 5 | BIG KAHUNA (CG177) | O Doleuze | B | 3-back on fence about 3Ls back in 6th at 1100 M and similarly placed swinging for home, had every chance but outpaced by quinella pair final 200 M. |
| 4 | 7 | KAISER'S CHOIX (CE305) | D Beadman | B/XB | Drifted back to last from wide gate, 8Ls last at halfway, pulled out 5-wide turning for home, place chances when 1L down at the 200 M, no extra thereafter. |
| 5 | 4 | GALLANT KNIGHT (CC189) | K T Yeung | V/TT | 2-wide and 2Ls back in 4th at 1100 M, left 3-wide no cover soon afterwards and pressed on to be 1L down in 3rd turning for home, weakened inside final 200 M. |
| 6 | 6 | MEATH (CE143) | D Whyte | SR/V | 4-back on fence and 4Ls off pace in 8th at the 1100 M, got off the fence turning for home in midfield but held up until the 100 M, couldn't recover, worth overlooking the run. |
| 7 | 11 | DASHING FLAIR (CE330) | C K Tong | TT | 4Ls back and 2-wide in 7th at 1100 M, 3Ls down and 3-wide in mid-division turning for home, one-paced in the home straight. |
| 8 | 12 | MACAROON (CG238) | S K Sit | -- | Worse than midfield about 5Ls off pace at the 1000 M, a little closer taking final bend, staying on well when checked at the 150 M, didn't recover. |
| 9 | 3 | FREEBIRD (CC319) | M W Leung | BO | Hung out as usual, 4-wide no cover at 1300 M, 2-wide and under 1L back in 2nd from 800 M to home turn, failed to quicken up and swamped final 200 M. |
| 10 | 2 | ARROGANCE (CA177) | Z Purton | B | Enjoyed the run of the race 2Ls off pace in 3rd or 4th from 1100 M to final bend, found very little off the bridle. |
| 11 | 10 | COP HILL LAD (CD292) | M Nunes | CP | 2-wide and 3Ls back in 5th at the 1100 M, still right there turning in, beaten when checked 150 M out. |
