Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 3 | JOY AND FUN (CH014) | W C Marwing | CP2 | Out only fairly, posted wide before angling into running line first turn, raced 5Ls back off strong speed, improved turning, let down at 300 M and kept giving to hit front inside 150 M and score deserved victory. |
| 2 | 4 | SUNNY KING (CH105) | M Du Plessis | XB/H/TT | Began nicely, slotted into 1 out 1 back position 3Ls from solid pace, travelled well despite tempo, kept improving turning and made run with winner, out dashed last 100 M but held on creditably. |
| 3 | 5 | BULLISH CASH (CH049) | E Saint-Martin | TT | Out with rest, lacked early pace and drifted back soon after raced 2nd last 10Ls away in 2-wide line, fast pace at top end suited, switched wide turning, closed nicely down centre to take placing. |
| 4 | 8 | GALLANT LION (CG243) | O Doleuze | H | No early pace and assumed usual position at rear more than 10Ls off lead, aided by strong pace, still a clear last turning, made many lengths down middle of course to make frame. |
| 5 | 6 | BRILLIANT CHAPTER (CJ100) | D Whyte | -- | Even jump, angled back to slot in but caught 3-wide early, dropped in to running line 7Ls back on bend, travelled evenly turn, looked a chance at 300 M but lacked usual dash and just held ground final 200 M. |
| 6 | 7 | SKYVIEW BAR (CG024) | H W Lai | CP | Amongst first few to break, ended up trailing leader 3Ls behind solid speed, came off heels to challenge at 350 M, there to 200 M but couldn't lift last bit. |
| 7 | 9 | REGENCY DRAGON (CH001) | W M Lai | B/TT | Amongst fastest out, showed usual pace to take up running, worked throughout and set solid pace with pressure from outside, fought off challengers soon after turning but hard run took toll and flattened last 200 M. |
| 8 | 1 | FELLOWSHIP (CG292) | Z Purton | TT | No early pace, positioned behind midfield 7Ls back in 2-wide line, suited by strong pace in front, came to middle on straightening, made even progress but lacked usual finish and just held ground inside 200 M. |
| 9 | 11 | NEVER LOOK BACK (CJ043) | Y T Cheng | TT- | First to hit ground, pressed forward in search of lead, overraced and drew clear of rest in pace battle, did work to bend, no pick up at 300 M and weakened out after a hard run. |
| 10 | 10 | MASTER POWER (CG318) | K T Yeung | B | Modest jump, drove through to race 6-7Ls away on rails, difficult to setting but had an easy time to bend, held up soon after turning and never got a crack in straight. Not fully tested. |
| 11 | 2 | JOYFUL WINNER (CE045) | B Prebble | TT | Began with rest, pushed up late midfield 6Ls from front runners, ridden along on turning to hold spot, run ended by 200 M and plodded thereafter. |
| 12 | 13 | KING ENCOSTA (CG247) | J Victoire | TT | Slow out, settled in rear division 9Ls off speed, helped by strong tempo, saved ground on bend, took inside runs in straight but no real progress final 300 M. |
