| 1 | 12 | NIMBLE NIMBUS (E249) | A Atzeni | V/TT | Jumped on terms, held a position behind midfield, responded well to pressure passing 400M, led inside 150M and drove hard late to just get the verdict from the fast finishing 2nd. |
| 2 | 11 | FIVE G PATCH (G286) | M Chadwick | TT | Settled behind midfield along the inside, had to switch out for clear running early straight, picked up in great style passing 200M, worked home well to be just denied. |
| 3 | 1 | STRAIGHT ARRON (G435) | H Bowman | -- | Switched off to race at the rear on jumping, had difficulty obtaining clear running from 400M-200M before working home hard under top weight to claim 3rd. |
| 4 | 13 | LA CITY BLANCHE (G371) | K Teetan | TT | Jumped in line and maintained a midfield position along the 3-path, pushed along 550M, came home well under pressure and briefly went 2nd inside 100M, edged out to 4th near line. |
| 5 | 8 | CHAMPION DRAGON (G070) | Y L Chung | H/TT | Caught wide early, moved up to 2nd before home turn, loomed large top of the straight, responded well to lead 200M before giving way to first few in closing stages. |
| 6 | 9 | FANTASTIC TREASURE (E269) | M L Yeung | CP-/TT | Up with early pace before taken back to race in midfield, worked home steadily from 400M, run ended 100M and faded towards the line. |
| 7 | 6 | HAPPY TOGETHER (G446) | A Badel | H/TT | Settled down in midfield, had ground saving trip along inside but was badly held up for clear running from 350M until 100M. Got out too late. |
| 8 | 2 | ENCOUNTERED (G236) | K C Leung | TT | Jumped well to be tracking the early pace before settling back in midfield home turn, badly held up for clear running from 400M-50M. Luckless. |
| 9 | 14 | SPIRITED EXPRESS (G356) | M F Poon | B/TT | Given a waiting ride towards the rear, 6-7Ls to make up 400M, worked home steadily without seriously threatening. |
| 10 | 5 | SWORD POINT (G448) | L Hewitson | CP | Stalked the lead in 3rd, came with an even effort early straight, couldn't go on passing 150M and weakened out of contention. |
| 11 | 10 | TOURBILLON DIAMOND (E054) | H Bentley | V/XB | Dropped back to race towards the rear, no closer than 3-wide throughout, had plenty to make up 400M and was just fair through the run home. |
| 12 | 7 | SUPER SUNNY SING (G319) | B Avdulla | TT1 | Jumped awkwardly, in midfield early stages before improving to 4th at 800M, loomed a threat top of straight, in contention until 150M then lost momentum inside 100M when steadied. |
| 13 | 4 | SENOR TOBA (G103) | K De Melo | V2/TT | Slow to begin and settled at the rear, no change in position making home turn, had the job ahead top of the straight and couldn't make any headway. |
| 14 | 3 | MONEY CATCHER (G171) | L Ferraris | V1 | Bumped at the start, sent forward to lead setting a good pace to straight, hard driven to hold lead passing 400M, was gone after 200M and weakened right away. |
