| 1 | 1 | DARPANA (CK256) | W C Marwing | B/TT | Camped 4 back the fence. Peeled out early in the home straight and let down strongly to record a convincing win. | 
| 2 | 6 | CHEEKY LAD (CG198) | Y T Cheng | B | Made its run from worse than midfield, 2 deep with cover. Took inside runs in the final stretch and closed off soundly. | 
| 3 | 8 | FAIRY DRAGON (CL018) | B Prebble | H | Enjoyed the run of the race on the fence in fourth position. Loomed up and hit the front at the furlong but was overhauled soon after. | 
| 4 | 9 | KIMBER FORTUNE (CK162) | M L Yeung | TT | Posted 3-wide without cover on the circle, behind midfield. Straightened wide but fought on to finish in the frame. | 
| 5 | 3 | THAT'S IT (CE223) | T Angland | -- | Handed up the lead and took a sit along the paint after the 800 M. Had every chance but weakened in the run to the post. | 
| 6 | 10 | NEWSWIRE TOO (CJ040) | D Beadman | B-/PC1 | Taken back from the outside alley to travel with the backmarkers, 3-wide with cover. Came wide in the straight but weakened on its run well short of the line. | 
| 7 | 12 | LEAD THE PROSPECTS (CJ195) | J Lloyd | -- | Raced prominently, 1 off with cover. Whacked away at the same speed, had no excuses. | 
| 8 | 7 | GALLANT GALLOP (CL080) | H W Lai | B-/P2 | Slow to begin and raced in last position 1 off with cover. Plodded to the line. | 
| 9 | 2 | KING'S CHOICE (CG040) | T H So | -- | Speared forward from a wide gate to lead along the fence after the 800 M. Faded inside the final 100 M. | 
| 10 | 5 | BUMBLE BEE (CL027) | D Whyte | SR-/B1/TT | Slow to begin settling 3 back the fence. Peeled out into the clear rounding the home turn but failed to find any extra at the business end of the race. | 
| 11 | 4 | GO STITCH (CK062) | G Cheyne | -- | Knuckled over at the start settling with the tailenders, 1 off with cover. Never in the hunt. | 
| 12 | 11 | MAGIC KING (CH182) | K C Leung | B | Began very awkwardly losing ground and settling towards the rear along the paint. Made no impression in the run home. |
