Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 7 | SOARING DRAGON (CH183) | Z Purton | B/TT1 | Pinged to lead by 1L at the 1400 M, 2Ls to the good off last bend, pulled further clear for an impressive success. |
| 2 | 2 | KOWLOON FIT (CE247) | E Saint-Martin | -- | Box-seated in 4th on rails at 1000 M, 2Ls back in 2nd at last turn, had little hope with the winner but ran on best of the pursuers for 2nd. |
| 3 | 6 | CLOVIS (CH044) | O Doleuze | XB/B1/H | Awkward break, towards rear 6Ls from the speed at halfway, edged closer off last turn and all out to nick a remote 3rd. |
| 4 | 10 | HELENE ELITE (CJ093) | J Victoire | CP-/XB/B1/TT | Slowly away, 3-back the fence in 7th or so about 4Ls from the speed through to final 400 M, had every chance to place but lacked late dash. |
| 5 | 5 | HEIMORI (CJ130) | D Whyte | SR | 2-wide and 3Ls down in 6th down back straight, close enough into final quarter, briefly hindered at the 300 M but lacklustre run for odds-on favourite. |
| 6 | 12 | PEARL HALO (CJ023) | M Du Plessis | B1/TT | Disputed lead out 2-wide at 1200 M, settled into 'one-out- one-back' slot from 800 M to home turn, soon outpaced. (Blood in trachea.) |
| 7 | 8 | CHAMPION PIONEER (CG305) | K T Yeung | B | Midfield with cover about 5Ls down at halfway, closer and with place prospects at top of home straight, couldn't sustain the bid. |
| 8 | 4 | ROCKET AND GOLD (CH015) | H W Lai | SR | Taken back from wide gate, 8Ls last in middle stages, 6-wide (widest of all) taking final turn, never likely to take a serious hand in the finish. |
| 9 | 1 | BOLD CHAMPION (CG127) | W C Marwing | V | Keen down the back when 2-wide in around 9th place, 5Ls adrift off last turn, no further impression. |
| 10 | 11 | NATURAL FATCHOY (CG282) | M W Leung | B-/TT | One from rear about 7Ls behind the initial tempo, still rearward and 7Ls behind off last turn, never dangerous. (Tactic questioned.) |
| 11 | 9 | FOREVER RICHES (CG174) | M L Yeung | B | Always worse than midfield, about 7Ls away down the back and not much closer into final 400 M, never a factor. |
| 12 | 13 | GALLANT MASTER (CJ255) | Y T Cheng | -- | Bumped at start, rushed forward to dispute pace out 2-wide at 1000 M, struggling to remain in touch at top of home straight, soon surrendered. (Tactic questioned.) |
| 13 | 14 | CLASSIC KING (CD256) | W M Lai | B/TT | Caught 3-wide without cover throughout, 3Ls back in 5th turning for home, extra work soon took its toll. |
| 14 | 3 | MY SMARTIE (CJ139) | S K Sit | B | Slow to muster pace, 4-back along the rails at halfway, steadily dropped out of the reckoning about 600 M out. (Bled.) |
