| 1 | 10 | ABLE STANDARD (CG043) | C K Tong | B-/TT | Began well, positioned 3-wide without cover 2Ls behind leader, improving on turning, hit front 300 M out, kept on to hold off fast finishing rival in a photo finish. |
| 2 | 11 | TOP SPEED (CH019) | H W Lai | B | Slightly slow out, soon taken to a midfield spot 3 to 4Ls off the pace, urged along on bend, responded gradually in straight and just lost out to the winner by a short margin. |
| 3 | 9 | MUTUAL GAIN (CE275) | B Doyle | B | First to jump, eased back to race in mid-division 2 to 3Ls behind leader, travelled comfortably on turning, made good progress to be nearest on line. |
| 4 | 7 | NEWSWIRE TOO (CJ040) | D Beadman | CP | Good start, pressed on to a prime position 1 out 1 back right on speed. Closed steadily before run ended at 100 M, held ground thereafter. |
| 5 | 1 | LUCKY WORLD (CJ053) | D Whyte | -- | Standard break, held a better than midfield spot about 2Ls off the pace, 2 wide on the turn with cover, had every chance in straight but unable to quicken up, just kept on to line. (Blood in trachea.) |
| 6 | 4 | SURE GAIN (CJ038) | B Prebble | -- | Well enough to jump from the inside draw, raced along rails just behind leader, used little on turning, commenced run from 400 M but lacked turn of foot and just battled at same pace to line. |
| 7 | 3 | GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY (CJ015) | Z Purton | -- | Began OK from an outside draw, taken back and crossed to the fence, had 6Ls to make up on straightening, improved slightly but was never threatening. |

| 9 | 2 | FULL BLESSINGS (CH238) | K L Chui | TT | Average break, eased back to a worse than midfield position some 6Ls back, proved difficult to settle in middle stages, raced wide making the turn, hung out under pressure and didn't close off. |
| 10 | 8 | ACTUARIAL TALENT (CJ028) | Y T Cheng | CP-/B2 | Began with rest, pressed on to take up the running at a modest tempo, held a 1L advantage on straightening, soon swamped and gradually weakened 300 M out. |
| 11 | 6 | G-ONE LEADING (CE306) | M L Yeung | B | Out with line, ridden to stay with the pace, raced at the back 3 wide and 7Ls off the leader, carried wider on the turn, under pressure soon after straightening, dropped off 200 M. |
| 12 | 5 | SUPER SPECIAL (CE225) | O Doleuze | H/TT | Fractious at start and lost many lengths, hard ridden to make up lost ground, settled on the fence 5Ls back as they turned, faded soon in straight as early hard run took toll. |
