| 1 | 12 | JUST GOOD (CL133) | W M Lai | H | Made its run from last position after settling on the rails. Worked out into the middle of the track in the home stretch and quickened nicely to nab victory close to the wire. |
| 2 | 5 | SHANGHAI PIONEER (CL252) | D Whyte | CP | Rated just off midfield the fence. Got a saloon passage in the home stretch & looked the likely winner near the 100m before being nailed close to the post. |
| 3 | 8 | VIVA DOLPHIN (M071) | M Chadwick | B/TT | Parked midfield, 2 deep with cover. Swung the home turn with only one wider and closed off soundly. |
| 4 | 3 | DIAMOND ANGEL (M212) | B Prebble | TT | Ridden with purpose early but got a little keen near the 1000m after landing leaders back. Lost slight ground near the 500m when tightened for room, ridden along thereafter but only plugged away in the straight. |
| 5 | 9 | FASCINATING SMILE (CK335) | T Clark | B | Led along the paint however never got much peace in the run. Had a 2 length margin at the furlong but faded over the latter stages and was just edged out of the frame. |
| 6 | 10 | FIRST CLASS (M008) | T H So | H | Pulled hard when obtaining cover near the 1000m, behind the leaders. Shifted out soon after & sent forward, did plenty of work to cross & race as joint leader near the 600m, 1 off no cover. Battled away gamely despite the hard trip. |
| 7 | 2 | PAR EXCELLENCE (CK020) | Z Purton | SR-/B1/TT | Prominent early, eventually travelling 3 back, 2 wide with cover after the 700m. Commenced to tire over the final 100m. |
| 8 | 7 | DYNAMIC CROSS (CL426) | C Y Ho | B | Couldn't match the early speed and drifted back to race worse than midfield 3 deep with cover. Failed to close off. |
| 9 | 1 | MING HOI GLORY (M020) | K C Ng | B1/TT | Pressured early from the outside alley and covered plenty of ground throughout the early & middle stages. Settled 3-4 wide without cover after the 700m. Was gassed approaching the furlong. |
| 10 | 11 | ASMODAI (M101) | K C Leung | B/SR | Ridden forward but travelled keenly with the leading division. Was crossed after the 600m & coursed 1 out 1 back. Was a spent force early in the final stretch & gave ground quickly after the 150m. |
| 11 | 4 | LOVING ALL (M181) | C K Tong | CP | Steadied soon after the start from a wide gate and taken back to settle at the rear of the field, 2 deep with cover. Struggled a long way from home. |
| 12 | 6 | BINGO BINGO (CL196) | G Mosse | B/TT | Pushed along early but was trapped wide for most of the trip, although had some cover on the circle, whilst travelling behind midfield. Never a factor. |
