Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 5 | LONGWAH SUPREME (M293) | O Doleuze | B/TT | Angled into midfield from a tricky alley, raced 3 wide with cover in midfield, 4Ls back in run, made effort turning and looked to labour before closing too well last 100m to score easily. |
| 2 | 8 | KING MOSSMAN (M266) | D Whyte | -- | Showed speed, took up front running role, set terms to suit to turn, skipped clear and made rest chase, outdone final 75m. |
| 3 | 2 | CAPTAIN SWEET (CL354) | D Beadman | -- | Taken back from widest alley, nearer to last 7Ls or so away, well back to bend, weaved passage through on worst going and produced big finish for 3rd. |
| 4 | 14 | GIFT IS GIFT (M053) | W M Lai | -- | Mustered to take up spot outside leader, travelled well to bend, forced to chase leader from 300m, layed in throughout straight but stuck on well to make frame. |
| 5 | 4 | BULLISH CHAMPION (M198) | G Mosse | TT1 | Trapped wide and pressed forward, raced 3 wide without cover, 2ls back working on circle, continued to find in stretch and did well first up only tiring last bit. |
| 6 | 3 | PRETTY ONE (CL418) | Z Purton | TT | Bounced out, faded into a midfield role, raced 2 wide 4Ls or so back, kept on reasonably in straight but didn't quicken as expected to be a factor. |
| 7 | 12 | PERFECT GEAR (CL014) | C K Tong | -- | Went back to last from wide alley, raced 8ls away 2 wide, all to beat turning, made good ground under hands and heels to be nearest at finish. |
| 8 | 13 | CLEARLY SILVER (M372) | M Du Plessis | -- | Settled behind midfield 3 wide with cover, 5-6Ls or so away at midpoint, was behind eventual winner turning, closed at one speed. |
| 9 | 10 | BRIGHTEXPECTATIONS (M368) | K C Ng | -- | Planted 3 and 4 wide behind midfield without cover in mid section, 6ls away to bend, made a brief bid turning but weakened after hard run. |
| 10 | 7 | FIRST IN COMMAND (CL085) | T Clark | H/TT | Bounced out, ideal trail on leaders back, there but niggled on bend, dropped off without much fight. |
| 11 | 1 | EAGLE REGIMENT (M011) | B Prebble | -- | Out well enough, assumed box seat 1 out 1 back, had chance to bend, didn't pick up as usual and struggled to go on with it late. (See racing incidents.) |
| 12 | 9 | LUCKY BRAVO (CL411) | M L Yeung | -- | Broke well enough, positioned behind midfield 5-6Ls back on rails, in traffic and checked at 300m, didn't find much thereafter. |
| 13 | 11 | GOLDEN BAUHINIA (CK123) | C W Wong | B | Standard jump, settled midfield on the rails, 3-4Ls back, easy time to bend, dropped out tamely. |
| 14 | 6 | SOARING DRAGON (CH183) | G Cheyne | B/TT | Not much early pace, back with last few 7Ls away on rails, always rearward thereafter finding them too slick over this trip. |
