Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 4 | FLAGSHIP SHINE (P104) | D Whyte | CP | Began well, took nice spot behind leader, came 1 off rounding circle, put into race at 400m and soon went clear, margin reduced late on but still held off rival for a solid victory. |
| 2 | 1 | STERLING CITY (N152) | B Prebble | -- | Taken back from outside gate, shared rear 7ls from top end, always well back to turn, produced a strong finish making many lengths in straight but just couldn't peg back winner last 50m. |
| 3 | 3 | DEEP THINKER (N159) | T Berry | -- | Positioned in midfield but always wide from a tricky draw, 4 wide with cover 5ls away in middle stages, improved turning and made run with eventual 2nd but lacked dash to match principals final furlong. |
| 4 | 2 | BULLISH FRIEND (N333) | M L Yeung | TT | Did share of work early to work across from a wide gate and race outside leader, right up there on circle, looked a place chance at 200m but couldn't sustain effort after working early. |
| 5 | 6 | FAT CHOY HONG KONG (N253) | Z Purton | TT | Moderate beginning, raced behind midfield 6ls or more from lead, had an easy time to turn, switched wider turning and made some steady progress without looking likely. (respiratory noise reported) |
| 6 | 12 | RUMBA KING (M172) | T H So | P | Settled in a midfield role, 4-5ls back on rails, not asked in mid-section, not much room early in straight, made some minor progress but just stayed on at 1 speed last 200m. |
| 7 | 9 | TOUR DE FORCE (N297) | A Suborics | B | Positioned around midfield early, racing 2 wide, was keen in middle stages and shifted 3 wide with cover, 3-4ls down turning, finished off just fairly in straight. |
| 8 | 14 | TRUMP (P106) | H W Lai | TT | Went forward but never on track, raced 3 and 4 wide without cover on circle, kept improving position to join in turning, folded from 200m when early work told. |
| 9 | 11 | KA YING KID (P189) | Y T Cheng | XB/TT | Took up a spot in midfield, 4ls or so off lead, fair run to bend, didn't finish off as had done recently just battling away in straight. |
| 10 | 8 | LONGWAH SUPREME (M293) | C K Tong | H/TT | Drifted back to race 6ls off lead in running line, behind midfield throughout, came widest in straight and closed to 200m before run ended. |
| 11 | 7 | FIONN'S TREASURE (M386) | K C Ng | -- | Pressed forward from a tricky gate but unable to slot in, raced 3 wide with cover 2ls back, struggling turning and faded out of contention in straight. |
| 12 | 10 | DOUBLE GLORY (P181) | C Y Ho | H | Shared rear 7ls or so away, still had field to beat on bend, never in contention and only passed tired runners in run to line. |
| 13 | 13 | PRETTY ONE (L418) | C Y Lui | TT | Fair getaway, raced 3ls back behind pace trio, close enough turning but was held up and carried back by tiring leader and never really go a crack. |
| 14 | 5 | ROCKET LET WIN (P330) | G Mosse | TT | Showed good early speed to push on and take lead, kept advantage to top of straight but soon under pressure, compounded quickly to be beaten a long way. |
