Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 1 | DOMINEER (P366) | H N Wong | H | Began well, and pushed forward early to steal an easy lead. Dictated pace, and set quick sectionals. Was 3 lengths clear mid straight, before weakening slightly, but was too far clear to be caught. |
| 2 | 4 | EXCITING DREAM (P191) | G Mosse | CP | Started only fairly and dropped back to sit just worse than midfield 3-4 wide early. Came 2nd widest on the turn, and kicked well when asked the question, swooping past the majority of the field for 2nd. |
| 3 | 12 | PABLOSKY (S156) | W M Lai | H/SR | Pushed forward after beginning only fairly, eventually sitting midfield on the fence. Awkwardly placed on heels at the 800m. Battled on gamely in the straight without threatening the first two home. |
| 4 | 2 | ACCESS YEARS (P087) | N Rawiller | TT | Began well, and pushed forward from the wide barrier to sit just forward of midfield, 2-3 wide. Handy position on turn, and pulled into 2nd by 200m, but faded from there, and just held on for 4th late. |
| 5 | 6 | LORD SINCLAIR (N447) | O Doleuze | TT | Only fairly away, and sat at the back of the pack 4-5 wide. Came widest on the turn, kicked and ran on well late, without threatening a place. |
| 6 | 7 | DEHERE'S THE LOVE (P305) | J Moreira | B | Scrambled out and sat midfield, 1 off the fence. Slightly 1 paced in the straight, and not suited to the quick tempo. |
| 7 | 10 | GREAT SPIRIT (P037) | K C Leung | -- | Began OK, but dropped back to sit at the rear of the field, 1 off the fence. Briefly held up at 300m, and only ran on fairly from there. |
| 8 | 11 | HARBOUR PUNK (S262) | H W Lai | XB | Began well and taken forward to sit in a handy position, 1 off the fence. Asked the question at the top of the straight, but never responded and weakened out from the 200m. |
| 9 | 8 | FABULOUS NOVEMBER (N342) | K Teetan | CP | Bounded out of the gates, and was stuck at the back of the field 4-5 wide. Kicked from the turn, and was making up some ground. Tendency to lay out late, steadied off heels 150 and never ran on from there. |
| 10 | 5 | MASTER KOCHANWONG (S008) | D Whyte | CP/TT | Began OK, and pushed forward to sit in a handy position, on the fence, after being crossed by the leader. Didn't run on from the 200m, and eased out late. |
| 11 | 3 | KEY WITNESS (S212) | N Callan | B/TT | Awkwardly away from the widest barrier, before sitting midfield 3 wide with no cover. Under pressure before the turn, but didn't respond. Weakened badly from the 300m, and eased out late. |
| 12 | 9 | HAPPY YEAH YEAH (M085) | M L Yeung | V | Began OK, but drifted back from there towards the rear before becoming unbalanced at the 800m. Beaten horse by the turn, and not persevered with in the straight. |
