| 1 | 8 | COUNTRY MAGIC (CH069) | K L Chui | TT | Showed good dash to take up running, raced to a 1L lead after resisting early challenge, controlled race in mid-section travelling like a winner on turning, kicked hard and defied rivals in straight to score a solid win. |
| 2 | 12 | CENTURY SUPER STAR (CE070) | W M Lai | BO | No real pace, ended up behind midfield 4 to 5Ls back, not asked by steady sections, kept to fence but still well back on turning, made plenty of progress along rails to snatch 3rd near line. |
| 3 | 6 | LUCKY FRUIT (CG026) | O Doleuze | -- | First to hit ground, took a trail behind leader, had run of race on rails, right there to bend and had ideal run present on bend, had length of straight to run down winner but only got within a length late. |
| 4 | 10 | KIMBERLEY MINES (CA367) | M W Leung | -- | Fast away, took a shot at lead before taking hold, raced a little keenly outside leader, 1 to 2Ls back past Rock, 1L down turning, kept finding in stretch but just lacked pick up to snatch a place. |
| 5 | 1 | HARB (CH209) | H W Lai | B/TT | Restrained from outside gate, ended up 4Ls back in 2-wide line, not aided by tempo, back between horses on bend, made plenty of ground between horses without clearest running to be closest on line. |
| 6 | 11 | SUPER CHARGE (CC299) | G Boss | B | Began reasonably, slotted in but forced 3-wide without cover shortly after, pressed on doing share of work to be 2Ls back without cover, right there sharing lead turning, there to 100 M but faded late when hard run took toll. |
| 7 | 2 | AMO (CB125) | C Soumillon | -- | Standard jump, drifted back to be 4Ls back on rails, improved when pace slowed, 3Ls down on circle, had something to offer turning, lacked usual finish and just closed off at same pace. |
| 8 | 4 | TRULLI (CH327) | Z Purton | -- | Out in line, ended up 3-wide 5Ls back, had cover and improved 4-wide on bend, 3Ls down on turning but couldn't get much closer just holding position in run to line. |
| 9 | 7 | STAR OF FAME (CH043) | K Shea | XB/TT | Moderate break, took a spot amongst last few 3-wide 6Ls back, did share of work and set a task on bend, switched widest and made fair progress in straight from a impossible spot. |
| 10 | 9 | GO BRITANNIA (CJ084) | D Beadman | -- | Showed more pace than usual, raced 1 out 1 back 2Ls back, travelled keenly in mid-section, still 2Ls down but struggling on bend, couldn't made progress in stretch porducing a one-paced finish. |
| 11 | 5 | NAMJONG FIGHTERS (CG308) | B Prebble | -- | Began with rest, raced 4Ls back in running line, not aided by tempo, tried to come 3-wide on bend but unable to make progress, came again in straight and was doing best work when ran into traffic late. (Not ridden out.) |
| 12 | 3 | TRAVEL CONSULTANT (CG266) | Y T Cheng | -- | Tardy to begin, took a spot 6Ls back at tail, not helped when pace slackened, still rearward leaving bend, no impact in straight just struggling to line. |
