Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 1 | VIVA PATACA (CG096) | W C Marwing | H | Handily placed in 4th along the fence and always travelled well, waited with until 400 M, showed his class and ran on strongly down the inside to win this stayers' championship for the third time. |
| 2 | 3 | THUMBS UP (CK005) | B Prebble | -- | Prominent early but was restrained to a position in midfield, hit front early in straight, shifted in near 200 M causing jockey to stop riding but kept on to just lose out to the battle-hardened winner. |
| 3 | 4 | COLLECTION (CK217) | D Beadman | TT | Taken back, over-raced in early stages but travelled well once settled, came close with a strong run inside 300 M, but effort flattened over the final stages giving impression that he might not see out the trip. |
| 4 | 7 | MR MEDICI (CK218) | H W Lai | -- | Broke well but eased back to a 2-wide position towards the rear, made his move approaching 600 M, looked to have a strong chance turning in but couldn't match the acceleration of the first three, plugged on for 4th. |
| 5 | 6 | JAMESINA (CH290) | D Whyte | CP/TT | Patiently held up in a rearward position 5Ls off the pace, remained on the inside throughout and was unable to improve passing 800 M mark, shifted out to challenge in straight, ran on fairly without troubling the first three. |
| 6 | 2 | PACKING WINNER (CE334) | Z Purton | -- | Keen in early stages and was wide making the first turn, unable to tuck in and raced without cover throughout, crept closer to leader passing halfway, briefly led turning in but found very little when pressed. (Jockey questioned.) |
| 7 | 8 | WIN PRACTITIONER (CG180) | M Du Plessis | -- | Hard ridden to a more forward position than usual, tracked the pacemaker and had an uneventful trip to the final bend, struggled to keep up passing 600 M and was a beaten horse when they turned in. |
| 8 | 5 | VIVA MACAU (CH110) | K T Yeung | CP/TT | Assumed his pace-making role for stable companions, led them along shortly after the start under a steady tempo, was taken on approaching 600 M, soon weakened. |
