Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 8 | WATCH WHAT HAPPENS (CH145) | J Victoire | -- | 4-back on fence in 7th about 5Ls from the pace at halfway, good headway to lead about 100 M out and all out to just cling on for the win. |
| 2 | 6 | GREAT ACHIEVEMENT (CD250) | H W Lai | TT | Always prominent, held the 'one-out-one-back' position at halfway, led 300 M out, headed by winner 100 M out, went down fighting. |
| 3 | 4 | EXPRESS WIN (CJ042) | C W Wong | TT | 3-back on fence about 4Ls down in 6th through to home straight, ran on well inside the final 200 M and only barely missed the quinella. (Questioned.) |
| 4 | 1 | SYLLABUS (CD388) | K C Leung | B/TT | Trapped 3-wide no cover at 1200 M, pressed on to race outside leader in 2nd at 800 M, always close-up thereafter and only just missed a place. |
| 5 | 10 | SILVER SUN (CE126) | T H So | -- | Soon led by 1L on fence, a neck clear at top of home straight, soon headed and held from the money inside final stages. |
| 6 | 2 | NOBLE CONQUEROR (CG169) | C Soumillon | P2 | Towards rear at least 5Ls or 6Ls from the front right until straightening, stayed on only fairly in the home straight and never likely to place. |
| 7 | 11 | WHATABOB (CD213) | C K Tong | SR/TT | Crossed from wide gate to take up prominent position, box-seated in 3rd on fence at halfway, comprehensively outpaced in the home straight. |
| 8 | 3 | AMBITIOUS GENERAL (CJ066) | D Whyte | TT | Worse than midfield about 5Ls behind pace at first, improved out 4-wide (widest) turning for home, one-paced to conclude. |
| 9 | 9 | TOP HONOR (CE183) | G Mosse | -- | Slowest out but soon recovered to race on fence towards rear at least 6Ls from the pace, still well back on straightening, never landed a blow. |
| 10 | 5 | DANESIS (CH194) | M Chadwick | TT | Unacceptable performance for a favourite, niggled along to keep up in rear at halfway, detached turning in, tame finish. (Tactic questioned.) |
| 11 | 7 | SOUNDS BEST (CE255) | W C Marwing | TT | 2-wide and 4Ls back in 6th in middle stages, ridden along to remain in touch at the 600 M, faded out in the straight. |
