| 1 | 8 | HAPPY FAT CAT (G166) | M F Poon | TT | Showed speed at the start to lead early before being headed near the 850m & racing second thereafter. Regained lead near 250m mark & dug deep under hard riding to hold narrow advantage on line. |
| 2 | 4 | NICCONI COUNTY (G208) | K Teetan | XB/TT | Raced on the leaders back around first bend before slightly further back in middle stages. Stayed along rail in the straight, made closing ground all the way to line but fell a Short Head behind on line when second. |
| 3 | 3 | BEAUTY INFINITY (H377) | Z Purton | -- | Was trapped racing three wide without cover throughout. Continued to cover additional ground around bend, was the widest on straightening when 3L from lead, closed well to be beaten a length after tough passage. |
| 4 | 1 | CELESTIAL COLOURS (H362) | L Ferraris | B/TT | Began fairly & was then bumped & consequently raced rearward. Improved slightly to be just worse than midfield between runners down back straight. Finished steadily in straight to finish 4th but well behind the first three. |
| 5 | 7 | GOLDEN TITLE (H100) | K De Melo | TT | Got back to race second last along the rail after the start. Shared last place around home bend, was 5L from the lead entering last section, stayed along rail in straight, past a few tiring rivals without threatening. |

| 8 | 5 | HONG KONG HALL (G315) | A Badel | TT | Raced near the lead early before getting 1,1 momentarily down back straight. Was just over 2L from lead entering last section, asked for full effort on straightening but weakened badly in last furlong & was a distant last. |
