Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 5 | TAI SING YEH (L037) | D Whyte | -- | In midfield off the inside and well covered, made the most of an uninterrupted run down the centre of straight, dueled with the runner-up for 250 M and gained upper hand in late stages. |
| 2 | 10 | HIGH POINT (CH215) | C Y Ho | CP | Behind midfield in 8th position, out to center of track and made smooth progress from 350 M, held narrow lead final 100 M, fought on determinedly to hold off the winner and was just denied. |
| 3 | 2 | SUNNY KING (CH105) | D Beadman | H | Restrained to a rearward position 5Ls off the pace and forced wide throughout, began to move closer halfway round the turn, finished willingly but could not catch the first two. |
| 4 | 6 | PERFECT STYLE (CJ329) | G Mosse | -- | Switched off to the rear and not used to 350 M, checked near 250 M when making his run, altered course and finished off the race well. |
| 5 | 7 | TUSCAN SPIRIT (CK055) | M L Yeung | -- | Blundered at the start but soon recovered to race behind leaders, loomed a threat 300 M but couldn't sustain effort, one paced final 150 M. |
| 6 | 11 | KILDARE (CJ198) | W M Lai | SR | Held up behind midfield along the fence, hampered near 200 M but was no real threat afterwards when presented with clear running. |
| 7 | 12 | NORMAN INVADER (CJ231) | M Chadwick | B/TT | Close up tracking leader off the inside, made a short lived effort 300 M, outpaced final 150 M. |
| 8 | 8 | VITAL FLYER (CK373) | J Lloyd | TT | Dropped back to the rear about 5Ls from leader, inclined to hang out throughout the race and could not be ridden out properly in the straight. (Unacceptable racing manners.) |
| 9 | 3 | SWEET SANETTE (L103) | O Doleuze | -- | Began awkwardly, settled 3-wide in the group chasing the pace, driven 350 M out but found very little in the finish. |
| 10 | 4 | NIGHTLIGN (CJ145) | Z Purton | -- | In the 2-path pressing the leader, not quickened under pressure in early straight, weakened steadily over the final 150 M. |
| 11 | 9 | BRILLIANT CHAPTER (CJ100) | Y T Cheng | B | Unable to cross and caught wide at the front for most of the trip, came up empty leaving the bend, soon behind and eased. |
| 12 | 1 | OUR LUCKY BABY (CH187) | T H So | CP/TT | Led steadily, lost the lead soon after turning in, gave way rapidly and eased. |
