| 2 | 10 | GENE POWER (M124) | K C Ng | B/TT | Pushed to take lead, crossed field to rail, kicked ahead top of straight but run ended 100m and caught near finishing line. |
| 3 | 14 | YOU KNOW I WIN (M361) | C K Tong | -- | Taken forward from wide draw to be two back, one off before the turn. Came wide into straight and kept on solidly. |
| 4 | 1 | ADORATION (M214) | D Whyte | B | Ridden positively from outside draw, taken across field to get sit behind leader, hard ridden final stages but little progress. |
| 5 | 8 | MIGHTY K (M315) | B Prebble | H/TT | Jumped with field and held good position three back one-off to turn. Taken out at 400m but found little under pressure. |
| 6 | 11 | PERI PERI SAFFRON (N055) | Y T Cheng | -- | Slow and then crowded start. Taken across behind runners before turn, switched out again in straight. One-paced. |
| 7 | 2 | DEEP THINKER (N159) | W M Lai | XB | No early speed and held three-wide at the rear. Moved four-wide swinging into the straight but one-paced thereafter. |
| 8 | 3 | CIRCUIT STAR (N220) | M Chadwick | TT | Used early to get third, two wide at the 800m. Still a clear third at the 400m but was soon running on empty. |

| 10 | 12 | WINNING BOY (N186) | K C Leung | SR | No early speed and held back along rails. Unable to get clear run till 400m, made some ground closing stages. |
| 11 | 13 | SOUNDS EXCELLENT (CK259) | H W Lai | V | Slow to jump and held at rear along rails. Improved slightly round turn but found little in straight and tired 200m. |
| 12 | 6 | FRESH AIR (L206) | O Doleuze | H | Jumped with field but proved difficult to settle. Swung wide into the straight and made some ground initially before tiring. |
| 13 | 4 | HAPPY HA HA (M381) | R Fourie | -- | Taken back soon after the start but kept wide. Was three wide at the turn and wider into the straight. Found nothing. |
| 14 | 9 | NEW GREENFIELD (M282) | C Y Ho | XB/TT | Pushed forward to be fifth at the turn, started to weaken round the bend and tailed off. Unacceptable performance. |
