| 1 | 13 | EMBRACES (CH175) | W M Lai | B | 5Ls down in 8th on fence at 1400 M, closer and 3-wide off last corner and over 1L back in 2nd at 200 M, kept on to lead 70 M out and won going away. |
| 2 | 2 | AMAZING CHOICE (CG163) | D Whyte | B | 5Ls back in 9th at 1400 M, 2Ls off pace out 5-wide into straight, led and looked the winner 300 M out, no answer when grabbed 70 M out. |
| 3 | 14 | LOHAN (CH279) | C W Wong | B | Disputed early pace out 2-wide, 2Ls back in 4th at halfway and 1L back in 3rd at last turn, lacked the kick of quinella pair and did just enough for 3rd. |
| 4 | 1 | HOLIGAN (CH003) | D Beadman | B | Went back from widest gate, 10Ls in rear at 1200 M, crept within 4Ls of lead on inside turning for home, could have at least placed but no follow-through. |
| 5 | 9 | KING'S COURT (CH310) | Z Purton | -- | 3Ls down in 6th out 2-wide at 1400 M, 4Ls back at the 800 M and 2Ls down off last turn, every chance and no excuses for not finishing in the money. |
| 6 | 10 | HAPPY HEROES (CD261) | G Mosse | PC-/B2 | One from rear about 8Ls off pace at 1600 M, still worse than midfield but 4Ls adrift off last turn, one-paced. |
| 7 | 11 | KING OF SHAVER (CH041) | H W Lai | B | 3-wide with cover about 4Ls behind in midfield at 1400 M, 4-wide but 2Ls back in midfield off last bend, failed to quicken up. |
| 8 | 4 | ROCKET AND GOLD (CH015) | B Prebble | SR | 3-wide with cover at 1200 M a little worse than midfield, under pressure and widest making final turn, very laboured on the run-in. |
| 9 | 8 | BROWN BEAUTY (CC029) | M Du Plessis | B | 2Ls off speed in 5th at 1400 M, enjoyed a soft trail on fence and 1L back off last turn, found nothing under pressure and beaten 300 M out. |
| 10 | 3 | MEATH (CE143) | Y T Cheng | SR/V | Left 3-wide no cover from the 1400 M, sent on to race 2Ls back in 3rd at 800 M and 1L down off final turn, extra work soon took its toll. |
| 11 | 12 | ROCKALOT (CH163) | C K Tong | B-/V1/TT | 10Ls back in 12th at the 1200 M, still in rear and 6Ls behind swinging for home, minimal impact and eased late. |
| 12 | 5 | SUNNY RIVIERA (CC240) | K T Yeung | B/TT | Slowest away and always rearward, 10Ls off the pace at halfway, marginally closer but still last entering straight, no impression. |
| 13 | 6 | DECAGONAL (CH244) | K L Chui | B/TT | Very wide at first bend, kicked on to track leader at 1400 M and briefly led at top of home straight, soon headed and faded very quickly. |
| 14 | 7 | SAMBUOYANT (CE172) | G Boss | B | Led by 1L on fence at 1400 M, headed at top of home straight, dropped out very tamely. |
