| 1 | 1 | CHATER POWER (CG312) | D Whyte | B/TT | Showed customary speed to take up running, elected for a sit after 300 M, travelled sweetly on leaders back, challenged turning in, went to front easily and held off rest to score stylishly. |
| 2 | 5 | BEAUTIFUL DREAMER (CH108) | H W Lai | -- | Restrained from outset, ended up at rear, travelled 8Ls back by midpoint, in an impossible spot on bend, switched widest in straight and made many lengths to snare 2nd late. |
| 3 | 4 | WINNING FELLOWSHIP (CG146) | K T Yeung | TT | Broke with them, raced 3 back on fence with a nice run, appreciated even speed, tracked nicely on circle, made even progress in straight to just miss 2nd. |
| 4 | 3 | JOLLY GOOD FORTUNE (CD274) | P H Lo | B | Amongst first few out, took up running after 300 M, kept pace reasonable 1L clear throughout, held same advantage entering straight, couldn't dash again at 200 M but plugged evenly to make frame. |
| 5 | 12 | CRYSTAL (CE209) | C W Wong | B | Average jump, ended up 4 to 5Ls away on rails, enjoyed a quiet time in mid-section, saved ground on rails turning, closed off nicely last 200 M doing best work late. |
| 6 | 6 | HAPPY GO LUCKY (CH127) | B Prebble | B1 | Ordinary jump, recovered to race in midfield 3Ls back in running line, travelled well on bend, same margin down on turning, kept on to 150 M before run came to an end. |
| 7 | 8 | MULTO EXPRESSO (CG098) | W M Lai | XB | Bumped shortly after start and settled amongst last few, raced 6Ls back in 2 wide position, not harmed by tempo, still well back turning, made even progress without threatening. |
| 8 | 7 | LUCKY FRUIT (CG026) | O Doleuze | -- | Standard break, raced 5Ls away in running line beyond midfield, had a reasonable run to bend, had something to offer before checked at 150 M, closed only fairly thereafter. |
| 9 | 9 | SOLAR MIGHTY (CH124) | S K Sit | B/TT | Standard jump but rushed forward to take closer order, ended up 3 wide outside leader, did it tough and raced ungenerously on bend, couldn't sustain effort last 200 M. (See Racing Incidents.) |
| 10 | 2 | PLEZAYRE (CG116) | D Beadman | XB/TT | Lacked usual pace and settled in rear division, not asked 6Ls back on rails throughout, still amongst last few turning, switched out but couldn't pair back margin. (See Racing Incidents.) |
| 11 | 10 | TYCOON TAYLOR (CH288) | M W Leung | B1 | Out in line, pressed on to assume role first without cover, did share of work with even speed, under pressure on turning, dropped out tamely last 200 M. |
| 12 | 11 | CONGRATULATION (CH032) | M Nunes | -- | Out in line, 3 wide behind midfield 4 to 5Ls back, covered ground throughout, still had job to do on bend, made a little ground before losing run at 100 M. |
