| Placing | Horse No |
Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 3 | FAMILISTS (M102) | B Prebble | H1 | Taken back from an outside draw, unsuited by speed two wide at rear 6Ls or so back, came three wide turning and responded to vigorous riding final 300m to stave off late challenger. |
| 2 | 5 | ARION OF CHIU TON (CK136) | W C Marwing | SR/TT | Standard jump, settled midfield on rails 3-4ls back, in traffic turning when taking inside runs, made good ground final 250m to miss narrowly. |
| 3 | 2 | KYARA (CL423) | Z Purton | SR/H/TT | Faded back as usual, raced 3 wide with cover just behind midfield, 3-4ls back to bend, produced decent effort in stretch but just out dashed final 100m. |
| 4 | 1 | CITY POWER (M066) | M L Yeung | B/SR | Began well, up challenging for early lead, pace not strong in mid section, took over at 400m and in it for most of straight but overhauled by those with better runs in transit. |
| 5 | 7 | SADDLERS LODGE (CL406) | D Whyte | SR/B1 | Fair to begin, ended up in midfield about 4ls back, fair run to bend, in traffic to 300m but didn’t dash when clear and just kept on to line. |
| 6 | 10 | EAGLE SPIRIT (CL326) | O Doleuze | XB-/TT1 | Settled nearer to last 5-6ls back on rails, improved turning but held up passing 200m, made some good ground late when race was over. |
| 7 | 4 | SLEEP WELL (CK036) | K C Leung | XB/TT | Even break, midfield before improving behind leader, right on leaders back turning and took inside runs at 300m, looked a place chance but peaked at 100m. |
| 8 | 9 | NOBLE DELUXE (M063) | T H So | -- | Fast away, assumed coveted 1 out 1 back spot, right there to bend, didn’t find much at business end and weakened out final furlong. |
| 9 | 12 | LET'S GOAL (M061) | H W Lai | TT | Drifted out from wider alley, 3 wide at rear 6Ls back, tracked into race ok on bend, didn’t have required finish and battled in stretch. |
| 10 | 6 | PUBLIC FIGURE (CK322) | G Cheyne | B | Showed early speed as expected, took up running but was worried by outside horse, speed suited to turn but when pressured lacked usual fight and gave in cheaply at 350m. |
| 11 | 11 | SPLENDID CHAMPION (CL041) | M W Leung | TT | Went forward, posted 3 wide without cover, did some work despite speed being steady, right there on turning, found little and faded after a hard run. |
| 12 | 8 | IRISH PEARL (CL387) | Y T Cheng | B1/H | Drifted back to tail, 7Ls or so away, pace against, dropped out in straight. |
