Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 12 | SCENT OF OSMANTHUS (L341) | Y T Cheng | -- | Urged early but left wide and without cover behind pace from 900M. Rallied on in the straight and dominated final furlong. |
| 2 | 8 | BREEZE OF LUCK (L124) | B Prebble | -- | Raced 3-wide behind midfield. Swung widest and was 5Ls down turning in. Covered good ground for 2nd. |
| 3 | 6 | REAL GENERAL (M086) | D Whyte | B1 | Away in line and settled 3-wide at midfield. Responded fairly well when asked in the straight but couldn't match the finishing effort of the front pair. |
| 4 | 5 | CONFUCIUS CLASSIC (CJ141) | K C Leung | CP/TT | Not hurried early and sat 2-wide towards rear. Kicked with the main bunch in the straight but was interfered 250M. Resumed satisfactorily to make frame near the post. |
| 5 | 13 | GILDED FLIGHT (CH294) | M W Leung | CP | Hard ridden early. Eventually cut to the fence and shared lead from 900M. Remained one-paced home straight. |
| 6 | 3 | CAGA BOY (CG060) | C K Tong | B | Began well but not clear to cross. Gradually eased to a spot wide and without cover ahead of midfield from 900M. Held ground without threat in the straight. |
| 7 | 14 | STAR OF CHIU TON (CJ175) | M Chadwick | B/TT | Niggled along the fence after start and raced behind midfield. Shifted 2-wide in the straight and found difficulty in obtaining clear running 200M. Made up some late ground. |
| 8 | 2 | ALWAYS WELL (M112) | W C Marwing | P-/TT | Bumped at start. Soon recovered to a spot 2-wide behind leaders. Well positioned to strike in the straight but only plugged on. Weakened final 100M. |
| 9 | 4 | MR TOPAZ (L097) | T H So | SR | Pressed early but couldn’t muster. Raced towards rear on fence to final stretch. Beat tired runners home. |
| 10 | 11 | MIGHTY FEELING (L025) | J Lloyd | SR/TT | Well enough away and was taken to 2-wide behind midfield. Unable to see daylight top of home straight and was hampered at 250M. Resumed fairly. |
| 11 | 9 | JOYFUL JOYFUL (CK284) | Z Purton | P/H | Rolled to park outside leader from widest barrier. Hit front passing 400M and peaked 250M. |
| 12 | 1 | STARLIT WARRIOR (M162) | B Doyle | B1 | Always at rear. Never in the hunt. |
| 13 | 7 | PANNA (M190) | D Beadman | -- | Good early speed and elected to sit behind leaders from 900M. Baulked for run early home straight and just ran on thereafter. |
| 14 | 10 | SUNNY SKY (L215) | H W Lai | H-/B1 | Last out. Given reminder to occupy a position at midfield on fence. Found nothing in the home straight. |
