| 1 | 4 | RICH DRAGON (CG079) | C K Tong | PC | Standard jump, took ideal spot behind leader, had run of race once pace slackened, close enough turning, made strong run final 200 M to take lead inside furlong and went away to score with authority. |
| 2 | 8 | BERIO (CJ202) | B Prebble | XB/B1 | First to hit ground, took a prominent spot outside leader, enjoyed a reasonable run with average sections, made challenge turning, drove to lead at 350 M, couldn't go with winner final 200 M but kept on gamely. |
| 3 | 7 | ONE TOUCH (CH199) | Y T Cheng | B | Began with first few, pressed on and posted 3-wide without cover early, elected for sit 2Ls back 3-wide with trail, travelled well to bend, made a clear effort in straight and kept coming late to miss 2nd narrowly. |
| 4 | 1 | SIR GALAHAD (CG272) | D Whyte | -- | Moderate getaway, settled 5-6Ls back on rails, not used throughout, disadvantaged by average speed, improved on rails on circle, followed eventual winner turning, peaked on run at 200 M and just held ground thereafter. |

| 6 | 11 | SUPREME GOLD (CH205) | K L Chui | TT | Began smartly, took up running easily, backed pace off after early lead battle, set even tempo thereafter, shaded leaving bend, fought on to 250 M before run ended and folded late. |
| 7 | 13 | MAGIC TEMPLE (CC368) | K C Leung | PC/TT | Out in line, taken back to race in rear division, ended up 7Ls back in running line, pace not to suit in mid-section, still well back turning, made some steady progress without looking likely. |
| 8 | 6 | CENTURY SUPER STAR (CE070) | W M Lai | BO | No early speed, soon at rear 6-7Ls back on rails, tempo against in mid-section, took inside run turning, made fair progress along rails but struggled last 200 M. |
| 9 | 10 | SUPER FIGHTER (CE167) | B Doyle | -- | Began evenly, took a midfield berth 4-5Ls away in 2-wide line, not suited by tempo, improved 3-wide on circle, unable to continue run and just held ground final 300 M at same pace. |
| 10 | 9 | LUCKY CHAMPION (CD178) | H W Lai | -- | Out with rest, angled into a midfield spot 5Ls back, lost spot in back straight, not helped by speed, well back on bend, lacked usual sprint and just struggled in straight. |

| 12 | 5 | MAINLAND SHUTTLE (CG315) | G Mosse | TT | Average jump, faded back from a wide alley to race 3-wide behind midfield, had cover 6Ls away, still well back on circle, made no impression in straight. |
| 13 | 14 | WADADELIGHT (CC340) | M Du Plessis | B | Bounced out, took prime position 1 out 1 back, no excuses in run, right there on turning, gave little from 400 M and gradually faded. (See Racing Incidents.) |
| 14 | 2 | KING ACRYLIC (CG295) | C W Wong | B/TT | Went forward from a wide gate, 4-wide without cover early, ended up 3-wide without cover outside leaders, did too much work in mid-section, faded out when hard run took toll. |
