| 1 | 8 | DASHING CHAMPION (CC015) | C K Tong | SR | Jumped well, quickly taken to a prominent spot on the rail tracking leader, travelled well going into straight, levelled with the leader near 200 M before staying on strongly to score with ease. |
| 2 | 9 | STAY YOUNG (CD109) | H W Lai | -- | Began with rest, guided to a handy position not far away from leader, shaken up approaching home straight, came with a challenge inside 300 M, ran on well but never looked like catching the winner. |
| 3 | 5 | EVERGREEN (CE106) | C Soumillon | B | Away well enough, slotted into a 3-wide position better than midfield early, crept closer down the back straight, found daylight down the inside of track, kept on well but didn't pose serious threat to the winner. |
| 4 | 4 | STRIKING MASCOT (CH154) | W C Marwing | B | Bounded in the air on jumping and lost ground, held a position in midfield along the rail in early stages, shifted out to be 2-wide approaching home turn, made even progress in the straight to finish nearest on the line. |
| 5 | 1 | BOLD CHAMPION (CG127) | O Doleuze | V | Taken back on jumping, crossed behind runners to race towards the rear, trailed 7Ls to leader as they settled down, no clear run early in the straight but finished strongly when cleared near 200 M. (Jockey questioned.) |
| 6 | 3 | FRIENDSHIP (CE066) | K C Leung | -- | Quickly into stride, driven to get the early lead, gradually slowed down the tempo before home turn, had 1L advantage turning in, headed near 200 M and weakened towards the line. |
| 7 | 2 | AMAZING FORTUNE (CH235) | B Prebble | B | Standard jump, crossed over and raced along the inside rail behind midfield throughout, moved closer passing 600 M, carried in on straightening, made some progress down the inside without threatening. |
| 8 | 10 | VICTORY MASCOT (CJ243) | M Du Plessis | TT | Taken back, held up patiently in the rear trailing 7Ls to the leader, commenced to improve position inside 500 M, ran into an awkward position early in straight, shifted out near 200 M and stayed on well to the line. |
| 9 | 12 | NAMJONG GOODLUCK (CE267) | W M Lai | B | Slowly into stride, in mid-division early, commenced to race wide and without cover passing 1100 M, moved up to 2nd approaching home turn, failed to run on in the straight, faded rapidly inside 200 M. |
| 10 | 7 | FAST GO (CJ181) | M W Leung | B/XB | Had the rail draw but was slowly away, pressed on early to hold a position ahead of midfield, had a smooth trip but failed to quicken on straightening, already beaten passing 200 M. |
| 11 | 6 | EMBRACES (CH175) | K T Yeung | B | Ordinary jump, maintained a spot in mid-division 4-5Ls behind leader, carried wide making home turn, unable to pick up under pressure, steadied inside 200 M, dropped out thereafter. |
| 12 | 11 | HARRY HARRY (CD019) | C W Wong | XB | Away with them, eased to take cover behind midfield runners, used little in running but had plenty to do going into the straight, found nothing when asked, dropped out inside 100 M. |
