| 1 | 8 | BILLION (CH316) | Y T Cheng | -- | Ordinary jump, soon taken to the lead, rolled along at a slow pace and travelled comfortably throughout, continued to run strongly despite 2nd getting close late. |
| 2 | 1 | DORDENMA (CE333) | D Whyte | XB- | Began fairly, settled in midfield 6Ls back in 2-wide line, unable to settle and was allowed to improve from 800 M, taken wide on turn, finished the race strongly but held by the winner. |
| 3 | 12 | SOMETHING SPECIAL (CJ014) | K T Yeung | SR/TT | Fast into stride, had an easy run in mid-division 2-deep from the fence, niggling along on turning, hung out and shifted wide in straight, kept on gamely to finish a close 3rd. |
| 4 | 3 | MASTER GUNNER (CJ142) | D Beadman | -- | Slow to begin, settled in behind midfield 7Ls off the leader, enjoyed a ground saving trip on the fence, made good ground in straight without troubling the winner. |
| 5 | 9 | UNIQUE SPEED (CG134) | Z Purton | TT | Jumped well from the outside draw, wide on the first turn, soon settled in 4th 2-3Ls off the pace, hard pushed as they turned, unable to find an extra gear and just plugged on holding ground in straight. |
| 6 | 10 | WONDERFUL BLESSING (CE198) | B Prebble | CP2/TT | Broke well from the inside draw, assumed a spot in mid-division 4Ls behind the leader on fence, shifted to outside for clear run in straight, made some progress but flattened towards the line. |
| 7 | 2 | DIAMOND ERA (CE040) | H W Lai | B/TT | Away with them, back behind midfield 7Ls back, tracked well in middle stages, urged along turning, didn't produce a strong finish and just ran on in run to line. |
| 8 | 7 | SUPER CHARGE (CC299) | F Coetzee | B | Quickly away, took a sit behind front runner and had a fair run on back of pace, kept up with the leader early in straight but gradually weakened from 200 M. |
| 9 | 4 | HOLD HANDS (CH116) | C K Tong | -- | Began awkwardly, shared rear 8Ls away from pace, not helped by the slow tempo, still well back on turning, made a run down the fence but was checked near 300 M and 100 M, not fully tested as a consequence. |
| 10 | 6 | NOBLE SILENCE (CD238) | M Du Plessis | -- | Began poorly, restrained to settle at rear 8Ls behind the leader 2-wide, hindered by the slow pace early on, still 7Ls down on turning, found little response when asked, only passed beaten runners. |
| 11 | 5 | DASHING THUNDER (CD080) | W M Lai | CP | Began well, unable to cross from wide draw and raced without cover in the early and middle stages, towards the rear as they turned, unable to produce and just struggled in straight. |
| 12 | 11 | FRIENDSHIP (CE066) | K L Chui | -- | Quickly into stride, pressed forward to a prominent position just behind the leader, under pressure on the bend, found nothing in run to line, dropped out from 200 M. |
