Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 7 | O'LINER (H264) | L Ferraris | P/TT | Jumped on terms, soon moved to the lead setting good pace, pulled away mid-straight and continued on with determination, won by good margin. |
| 2 | 3 | LUCKY EIGHT (G204) | K De Melo | B | Moved up to 3rd entering back straight, within striking range passing 500M, kept on steadily to go 2nd near 150M, not reach winner. |
| 3 | 1 | ATOMIC FORCE (G221) | H Bentley | H/XB | From wide draw shifted across behind runners, settled near the rear 7Ls off the pace, finished off moderately through final 250M. Got up for 3rd late. |
| 4 | 5 | WONDER KIT (G455) | C Y Ho | CP | Held up behind midfield in a fast run race, travelled satisfactorily, stayed on final 300M without threatening winner. (Jockey : after changing lead early straight didn't finish off strongly.) |
| 5 | 8 | HAPPY GOLF (H056) | M Chadwick | -- | Eased back from draw 9, settled at the rear 8-9Ls off the pace, plenty to do 300M, closed off reasonably well making gradual gain late. |
| 6 | 10 | TOMODACHI KOKOROE (H303) | K Teetan | H-/TT | Pursued leader in a fast run race, battled on early straight but couldn't get close to winner, held 2nd to 150M, flattened out late. |
| 7 | 6 | HOSS (H055) | Z Purton | XB/TT | Settled down midfield in a fast run race, lacked further response passing 250M, never a threat to leaders. (Jockey: his mount would derive benefit from tonight's run.) |
| 8 | 9 | A AMERIC TE SPECSO (H037) | A Badel | -- | From middle draw shifted across behind runners, reserved at the back, checked 150M to avoid a beaten rival, failed to quicken. |
| 9 | 2 | WINNER METHOD (E178) | C L Chau | B/TT | Away with them, settled towards the rear, pushed along 600M out, couldn't go on in the straight. |
| 10 | 4 | SOLID IMPACT (E447) | H Bowman | B | Raced in midfield along the fence, moved up to 3rd 400M, not quickened when placed under pressure, eased down by jockey 200M. (Jockey : concerned something had gone amiss near 200M. / No Vet findings.) |
