| 1 | 8 | MAN IN THE MIRROR (CH058) | D Whyte | -- | Jumped in line, faded back to rear 7Ls or so away, made a 3-wide run when pace slackened, pulled way forward working without cover, up challenging at 400 M, hit front shortly after and pulled out all stops to defy them. |
| 2 | 1 | LUCKY CHAMPION (CD178) | H W Lai | -- | Restrained from gate, ended up sharing rear 2-wide 8Ls back, tracked forward 3-wide with pace steadied, made 4-wide run (without cover) on bend, 1L back turning in, kept giving but couldn't pair back margin late. |
| 3 | 3 | WADADELIGHT (CC340) | W M Lai | B | Began fairly, ended up a little closer than usual 3 to 4Ls back in midfield racing 2-wide, in traffic on circle, came to outside and closed off nicely for 3rd. |
| 4 | 2 | VICTORY TREASURE (CE031) | B Prebble | V-/TT | Out in line, ended up just worse than midfield 5 to 6Ls back not helped by slow pace in mid-section, tracked 3-wide on circle, looked a threat turning in but just managed a one paced finish holding down 4th. |
| 5 | 6 | COURAGEOUSHEART (CD202) | D Beadman | B/TT | Showed some dash from gates to take up box seat 1 out 1 back, had easy time 2Ls back, caught between horses on circle, in traffic to 200 M but only closed at same tempo when clear. |
| 6 | 11 | DANESIS (CH194) | K L Chui | TT | Had enough early speed to take a prominent role outside leader, had an easy time in mid-section with sensible sectionals, couldn't sprint when tempo increased turning in and just held ground before weakening late. |
| 7 | 9 | KING HESPERUS (CE151) | M Nunes | B/TT | Began well enough, took a midfield position 3Ls back on rails, had a soft run and used little to bend, niggled on turning, didn't find extra gear and just battled away in home stretch. |
| 8 | 10 | FUJIAN PRINCE (CE006) | K T Yeung | SR-/XB2/TT | Taken back from wide alley, shared rear 7Ls back on rails, harmed by slow tempo, still had a job to do on bend, switched out turning in, only made moderate headway passing beaten runner. |
| 9 | 5 | NASA PEARL (CC068) | G Mosse | P2 | Kept with them at first before drifting back to race 5Ls back beyond midfield, not asked in run but disadvantaged by pace, couldn't made impression and just battled to line. |
| 10 | 12 | CONNOISSEUR'S LOVE (CD234) | C K Tong | B | Showed customary pace to take up running, backed off tempo after some early work, had a reasonable run dictating terms to bend, found little when challenged on turning and faded out easily. |
| 11 | 4 | EVERGREEN (CE106) | C W Wong | TT | Began in line, faded back to race 6Ls away on rails, always in rearward division, chances harmed by muddling pace, didn't make any impact in straight. |
| 12 | 7 | TACTIC KING (CG081) | E Saint-Martin | B-/V1/TT | Showed usual pace, slotted into a forward spot first behind leader 2Ls back, had run of race with steady speed, niggled along on bend, found nothing and beaten a long way. |
