Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 10 | SMART DECLARATION (S436) | A Suborics | SR/TT | Began well, ridden to initially hold box seat before eased three-back from leader. Switched out turning for home, picked up momentum from 300m and just got to the line on time. |
| 2 | 11 | GREAT RUN (P223) | K Teetan | B | Hard ridden to stay with pacemakers 3L from leader, easing to four-back the fence around turn Got inside run final 200m and was finishing strongly when shifted in from heels 150m Kept on well. |
| 3 | 4 | GENERAL IRON (P429) | M L Yeung | CP/TT | Got off with field, ridden along to hold midfield position one-away from fence. Shaken up top of straight, shifted out 250m to obtain clear running, finished strongly. |
| 4 | 3 | BRILLIANT PROPOSAL (N392) | D Whyte | B | Made to work from an outside draw, racing three-wide outside early leader before hitting the front and crossing to rail 600m. Kicked clear 400m, looked top chance 200m, swamped on line to miss a placing. |
| 5 | 12 | SHADOWFAXE (P381) | J Moreira | E/TT | Pressed forward to lead on settling but badgered by four other runners. Eased one-back, one-out around turn, urged forward again in straight to be 2nd at 200m when one-paced. Found to have blood in trachea. |
| 6 | 5 | GROOVY (CL401) | W M Lai | -- | Not much speed, taken to rear along fence. Improved position around turn, switched out in straight and kept on steadily to be closest at finish. |
| 7 | 8 | EXCEL ONESELF (P287) | G Mosse | H | No pace, racing wide at the rear and away from the fence. Picked up momentum entering straight and ran on fairly past tired horses. |
| 8 | 9 | REAL TREAT (P322) | O Doleuze | TT | Pushed along between horses at the rear after awkward start, crossing in from wide draw. Checked and lost position 600m. Ran on fairly in straight when shown daylight. |
| 9 | 7 | BRILLANTE (T037) | K C Ng | -- | Began well, hard ridden to hold forward position settling three-back, one -off. Taken out very wide in straight but only one-paced. |
| 10 | 1 | FUN 'N' GAMES (P140) | B Prebble | H | Began well, aggressively ridden to hold lead along fence but unable to prevent another from crossing over. Still in contention 200m before weakening badly. Stewards ruled performance unacceptable. |
| 11 | 2 | HAWTHORNE (CL136) | Y T Cheng | B | Pushed along early to hold forward position 2L from leader but then taken wide from 800m and lost position. Faded off in straight. |
| 12 | 6 | ROYAL SPIRIT (T257) | K C Leung | -- | A little slow to move and clear last on settling. Never competitive. Stewards ruled performance unacceptable. |
