Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 1 | REALLY HAPPY (CJ165) | K C Leung | TT | Tracked leader and travelled kindly for most of the way, lengthened really well on straightening and rallied back inside 150 M to edge out the eventual runner-up. (Jockey dropped whip 200 M.) |
| 2 | 9 | FLUKE (CJ061) | H W Lai | -- | Well enough away, held a 2-wide position in midfield 4Ls back, pressed on inside 450 M and burst to the front 200 M out, unable to get away from the winner though and was eventually reeled in 50 M from home. |
| 3 | 10 | REAL SPECIAL (CH320) | M Du Plessis | XB | Drifted back after the start and was given a waiting ride in a position behind midfield, edged out to commence his run passing 400 M, ran on well down the outside but couldn't get to the first two. |
| 4 | 11 | PRINCE KALAMOUN (CK178) | J Winks | CP | Urged along to hold a position behind midfield on the fence, 4Ls down passing 400 M and had a clear run down the inside, lacked an instant acceleration but stayed on okay to claim 4th. |
| 5 | 8 | LU YUE (CH278) | Y T Cheng | B/H | Unable to shift in before the first turn due to the wide draw, crossed to lead on the rail passing 1300 M and an uncontested lead to straight, headed inside 300 M and tired into 5th. |
| 6 | 6 | TOP HONOR (CE183) | D Beadman | B1 | Began well but was eased back for cover before the first turn, hampered near 1300 M and was shuffled back, 6Ls off the pace and had a daunting task turning in, plugged on inside 300 M but never looked like figuring. |
| 7 | 12 | SLEEP WELL (CK036) | W M Lai | -- | Held up last 8Ls behind leader and waited with until 350 M, stayed on only fairly, never dangerous. |
| 8 | 7 | BERIO (CJ202) | B Prebble | XB | Tracked leaders in early stages but eased back to midfield entering the back straight, ridden inside 500 M to hold a position and struggled to go with them as the race heated up in straight. (Jockey questioned.) |
| 9 | 3 | CONGRATS (CG298) | D Whyte | TT | Lost ground at the start and was soon taken to a rear spot on the rail, had more than 5Ls to make up inside 400 M but didn't pick up from off the pace, eased close home. (Jockey reported it didn't handle the track conditions.) |
| 10 | 2 | DISGUISE (CG004) | P H Lo | B | Prominent early but unable to shift in and trapped 3 deep throughout, under pressure making the home turn and never able to pick up in straight. |
| 11 | 4 | TOM'S SIX (CG264) | W C Marwing | CP1 | 3-wide in midfield 5Ls back, came widest turning for home and had nothing to offer inside 300 M. Disappointing. |
| 12 | 5 | DORDENMA (CE333) | Z Purton | -- | Slow into stride but soon recovered to race prominently behind leaders, under pressure on the turn and was eased down early on straightening. |
