Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 4 | GOODHEART SUCCESS (S162) | M L Yeung | B | Had a ground saving trip along the fence, tracked pace from 700M, switched out nearing 400M, quickened to lead 200M, drew nicely clear at the finish. |
| 2 | 9 | SUPREME FLIGHT (M199) | H W Lai | B/TT | Shoved to the lead soon after the break, led at a reasonable pace on soft going, unable to hold off winner 200M but continued on well to hold 2nd, clear from rest. |
| 3 | 1 | LITTLE DRAGON (S264) | N Callan | B | Never far off from leader 2-3Ls away, shaken up 450M, kept on steadily in the run to the line but couldn't reach first two. |
| 4 | 2 | WILLIE INVICTUS (S255) | G Mosse | B- | About 3Ls behind leader, travelled 3-wide throughout, driven along 500M, stayed on moderately. |
| 5 | 11 | SUGAR CITY (P228) | K Teetan | XB | Reserved at the rear of the field, 5-6Ls of the pace middle stages, kept on to inside turning home, stayed on mildly, not reached first two. |
| 6 | 12 | WIN IT (P032) | C Y Ho | CP | Close up behind pace but 3-wide no cover throughout, kept on same pace final 350M. (Jockey dropped whip 150M) |
| 7 | 8 | HAPPY ROCKY (S147) | B Prebble | CP/TT | Held up towards the rear, no closer than 3-wide throughout, bid widest 500M, stayed on fairly down outside, not reached leaders. |
| 8 | 3 | GOLDEN ADDICTION (P234) | J Moreira | P | Began awkwardly, restrained in the rear 5-6Ls off the pace, ran on same pace final 400M, never a serious threat. |
| 9 | 5 | EXPECTATOR (N284) | K C Leung | B/XB1/TT- | Held up behind mid-division, found disappointingly little inside 400M on soft going, never reached contention. |
| 10 | 7 | BESPOKE COLLARS (S144) | Z Purton | E | Held up in mid-division, saved ground on the inside, failed to go on passing 250M and dropped out. (Lame right fore) |
| 11 | 10 | DANEWIN EXPRESS (S234) | K C Ng | H/XB/TT | Failed to slot in from draw 11, travelled wide without cover throughout, crept closer to pace middle stages but didn't respond to riding 500M out, soon gave ground. |
| 12 | 6 | HAR HAR CHARMING (S440) | D Lane | P | Positively ridden out the gate, crossed from 12 to track leader, came under pressure rounding home turn, gave ground rapidly from 450M, finished tailed out. (Unacceptable Performance) |
