Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 9 | OURAJA (CG214) | B Prebble | B | Out in line, settled in behind midfield 5Ls back racing 2 wide, not really suited by pace, still back behind horses on bend, travelled well but in amongst horses to 200 M, sprouted wings when clear last furlong to score narrowly. |
| 2 | 6 | EXPRESS WIN (CJ042) | Y T Cheng | SB1/TT | Average jump, hard ridden to drive through and take up running, pressured by outside horse throughout but still able to control the tempo, tucked in turning to retain lead, fought hard and just caught right on line. |
| 3 | 8 | O'REILLY RALLY (CH266) | K L Chui | TT | Bumped on jumping, unable to take usual spot and ended up 3 to 4Ls back on fence, had an easy run thereafter, tracked strongly on bend, eased into clear at 300 M, kept closing in straight for a solid 3rd. |
| 4 | 2 | GALLANT LION (CG243) | C K Tong | H | No pace from outset, took up usual role in rear division, raced 2 wide 6Ls back, raced keenly moving 3 wide on bend, moved 4 wide and closed off hard last 200 M making many lengths to be in frame. |
| 5 | 5 | ENTHUSED (CH303) | F Coetzee | -- | Bounced out, pressed on from a wide alley, unable to slot in and raced 3 wide without cover 1L back, aided by tempo, still looked a threat at 300 M but hard run took toll and just struggled last bit. |
| 6 | 4 | HELENE PILLAGING (CC084) | M Nunes | TT- | Began well, took a prominent role on leaders back, suited by steady pace, no excuses in run, close enough on straightening, clear running emerged but only had 1 gear and just struggled in run to line. |
| 7 | 7 | EYSHAL (CJ099) | D Beadman | B2/TT | Slow to muster after bumping, ended up 5Ls away on rails, had a quiet trip in mid-section, saved ground on bend, held up to 200 M, continued to improve along inside making gradual headway to be nearest on line. |
| 8 | 1 | FIRM OFFER (CE008) | O Doleuze | SR | Slow away, re-gathered to be 6 to 7Ls back on rails, not asked in mid-section however disadvantaged by pace, saved ground in bend, made ground inside horses in straight (steadied 150 M) making good progress from impossible spot. |
| 9 | 10 | WEI HAI INVINCIBLE (CH258) | K T Yeung | SR/TT | Jumped sharply, took ideal spot 1 out 1 back, travelled keenly with steady pace, still right there rounding bend, failed to accelerate when they sprinted and lost touch over concluding stages. |
| 10 | 3 | SUPER TRAVELLER (CH275) | Z Purton | -- | Began well, pressed on using some resources to race outside leader, shaded inside horse throughout however suited by standard sections, still there but lost lead on turning in, unable to find extra last 300 M. |
| 11 | 11 | WINNING FELLOWSHIP (CG146) | E Saint-Martin | TT | Not much early pace, allowed to drift back and race 3 wide behind midfield 6Ls back, unsuited by speed and pushed 4 wide turning, set impossible task on turning coming widest, run ended at 200 M after workload took toll. |
| 12 | 13 | CHEERFUL MASTER (CE309) | H W Lai | B/TT | Only fairly away, ended up racing 3 wide with cover 3Ls back in midfield, pace suitable however covered ground throughout, made a 4 wide bid on turning in, nothing extra when asked and folded tamely. |
| 13 | 12 | WIN AGAIN (CD371) | E Wilson | B/SR | Standard jump, ended up sharing rear 6 to 7Ls away in 2 wide line, not helped by steady pace, still well back at 400 M, lacked a finish and struggled in run to line. |
| 14 | 14 | NORTHERN HERO (CG172) | G Boss | -- | Began with rest, held a position 3 to 4Ls away in running line, had a reasonable run thereafter, switched 3 wide leaving bend, responded to urging to 200 M but weakened badly last 200 M. (See Racing Incidents.) |
