Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 2 | SILVER SUN (CE126) | B Prebble | -- | Began smartly, assumed ideal spot behind leader and aided by on pace bias, enjoyed run of race to bend, gained split on turning in, drove through at 200 M and drew away to score convincingly. |
| 2 | 8 | O'REILLY RALLY (CH266) | K L Chui | TT | Away well, pressed forward to take up running aided by pace bias, set an even tempo with close company from outside horse, shaded at 500 M, 1L down on turning, stuck to inside and fought back strongly late. |
| 3 | 6 | YOUNG HERO (CH071) | M Du Plessis | TT | Amongst first few to break, raced 3-wide without cover, did it tough in mid-section, lost position at 600 M, 2-3Ls away on bend, switched out and came again late for place. |
| 4 | 5 | NILOMETER (CD052) | Y T Cheng | B1/TT | Standard getaway, ended up 3-wide at tail 6Ls away, made a 5-wide move at 700 M, did plenty of work without cover to bend, 1L down turning, switched wider in straight and there to 150 M before run ended and lost place. |
| 5 | 10 | FAT DRAGON (CD130) | C K Tong | -- | Failed to muster, raced 3 or 4-wide 5Ls back at rear, made a wide run from 700 M point, 2-3Ls down on circle, kept progressing to be in mix on turning, flattened at 150 M and just held ground thereafter. |
| 6 | 1 | FIRM OFFER (CE008) | Z Purton | SR | Began better than usual, raced 3Ls or so away on rails, had an easy time in mid-section, saved ground on bend, progressed evenly to 200 M but couldn't finish off and stayed on at one speed. |
| 7 | 11 | MELLIFLUOUS (CH212) | O Doleuze | V/XB/H | Away nicely, took up box seat 1 out 1 back, no excuses in run racing behind pace, still 1L back leaving bend, came with promising run at 250 M but couldn't sustain effort inside final furlong. |
| 8 | 9 | IRON FIST (CH143) | K T Yeung | TT | Began nicely, showed good pace to take position outside leader, did share of work applying pressure at even sections, took lead at 500 M, held advantage turning in, workload took toll and weakened inside furlong. |
| 9 | 7 | CARRIZO CREEK (CE132) | M Nunes | B | Standard jump, ended up well back 6-7Ls back on rails, always well back in run, improved from 500 M 3-wide without cover, switched wider in straight but couldn't wear down margin. |
| 10 | 12 | BUTTERFIELD (CG178) | D Whyte | B | Moderate jump, settled in rearward division 5-6Ls away on fence, pushed along in mid-section, improved between horses on bend, went to inside but didn't close off with usual dash. (Didn't handle conditions.) |
| 11 | 3 | TOM'S SIX (CG264) | G Boss | B | Restrained, back with last few 6Ls back in 2-wide line, gradually improved 3-wide from mid-point, 4Ls down on turning, didn't respond in home straight. |
| 12 | 4 | WINNING REWARD (CE254) | H W Lai | B | Well enough to begin, drifted back to midfield racing 2 to 3-wide 4Ls back, didn't seen comfortable and began to lose position on bend, last on turning and not ridden out in conditions. (See Racing Incidents.) |
