Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 12 | FAY FAY (L284) | D Whyte | -- | Guided to a 2-wide position with cover from 14, travelled strongly in midfield throughout, unleashed a powerful run from 400M with minimum urging, lead near 100M, won unextended. |
| 2 | 7 | FIONN'S DRAGON (L046) | H W Lai | TT | Dropped back, held up in last pair, difficult to settle mid stages, stayed on well final 400M despite hanging in, got up for 2nd late but the winner belongs to a different class. |
| 3 | 6 | TALLEY CLOSE (M280) | K C Leung | -- | Led from the off and set a decent clip mid race, opened up a sizable lead passing 300M, headed inside 150M, weakened and lost 2nd close home. |
| 4 | 9 | QUANTUM POWER (M134) | Z Purton | H/XB | Crossed to a midfield position along the inside, held up 400m to 200M, finished well and would have been closer. |
| 5 | 1 | GENE POWER (M124) | D Beadman | TT | Positioned 3-wide towards the rear, about 6Ls behind leader turning in, ran on steadily from off the pace, in contention for a minor placing final 200M but flattened late stages. |
| 6 | 10 | COSTA DEL SOL (M111) | K C Ng | -- | Chased leader but caught 3-wide without cover, lacked the needed response when called upon, outpaced final 150M. |
| 7 | 11 | ALL FRIENDS (M374) | B Doyle | -- | Placed ahead of midfield, kept on one pace and never looked like getting to the leaders. |
| 8 | 3 | GRAND DANCER (CK268) | T Clark | B | Not hurried after the start, held up near the rear 6-7Ls off the pace, kept on same pace in straight and ran past beaten runners only. |
| 9 | 14 | DILIGENT III (M211) | M L Yeung | CP | Slow to begin, quickly recovered to race prominent behind leader, not quickened turning in, failed to keep pace final 150M. |
| 10 | 5 | PERFECT CHEERS (M341) | O Doleuze | H/TT1 | Towards the rear along the inside, urged along passing 500M but never going the pace to challenge. |
| 11 | 2 | ABSOLUTE FANTASY (M284) | Y T Cheng | B | Not far off the pace, steadied near 600M, failed to respond inside 250M and gradually gave way. |
| 12 | 13 | SUPER BROTHER (M299) | C Y Ho | B/TT- | Chased the pace 2-wide, kept within striking distance until weakening inside 300M. |
| 13 | 8 | EVERYBODY SINGS (M168) | B Prebble | H-/B1 | Raced keenly in midfield, turned 3-wide home bend, found little when pressed nearing 400M, eased when well beaten mid-straight. |
| 14 | 4 | SICHUAN LEGEND (M248) | T Angland | B | Settled at the back well off the pace, saved ground on the inside but didn't have a clear crack turning in, held up mid-straight and was eased over final stages. |
