| 1 | 13 | HARMONY N HOME (C531) | M F Poon | -- | From wide draw taken back to a rearward position, 5Ls to make up top of straight, finished off strongly when asked 300M, got up 50M from home. |
| 2 | 8 | SOLID WIN (J225) | A Atzeni | TT | Blundered shortly after the start, maintained a position behind midfield, shoved along 550M, got going passing 250M, ran on nicely to take 2nd near line. |
| 3 | 1 | BALLISTIC WIN (J040) | B Thompson | -- | Jumped fairly, tracked leaders on the inside, held up behind one-paced rivals early straight, shifted lane 200M to obtain clear running, fought on nicely under top weight to take 3rd close home. |
| 4 | 11 | GALLANT CROWN (D359) | E C W Wong | B/TT | Prominent outside leaders, caught wide no cover throughout the trip, fought well on straightening and vied for lead to 50M, claimed by first 3 late. (Trainer confirmed the instructions were not to lead.) |
| 5 | 9 | CIRCUIT MIGHTY (G078) | K C Leung | TT | From draw 1 moved up to be sharing the lead on inside, hard pressed from 300M to hold its lead, no extra 50M and swamped by rivals close home. |
| 6 | 3 | OWNERS' PRAISE (H047) | L Hewitson | TT | Given a waiting ride at the rear, held up for clear running 300M-200M, did best work late, nearest finish. (Jockey questioned regarding his riding in the straight.) |
| 7 | 12 | GANGNAM STAR (H326) | A Badel | XB | From wide draw taken across behind runners, waited with at the rear of the field, made good progress final 300M. |
| 8 | 7 | FAMILY JEWEL (J390) | C Y Ho | TT | Settled down midfield, raced keenly middle stages, disappointed for clear running from 300M and badly held up to 100M, left with too much to do. |
| 9 | 2 | VIVA GRACIOUSNESS (J079) | B Avdulla | TT | In touch with leaders, ran home one paced passing 400M, wasn't beaten far but never looked like getting involved. |
| 10 | 4 | U S S CONSTITUTION (H357) | A Hamelin | B/TT | Away well, shared lead on outside, tried hard early straight to stay in contention, faded final 100M. |
| 11 | 10 | PRINCE ALEX (G307) | M Chadwick | CP/XB/TT | Jumped on terms, settled in midfield along the inside, fought on one paced turning home, checked 150M but was posing little threat to leaders at the time. |
| 12 | 5 | LUCKY GOLD (G112) | C L Chau | B | Not hurried after the jump, dropped back to a position behind midfield, lacked a finish passing 400M and was never involved. (Lame next day.) |
| 13 | 6 | BLAZING WIND (J157) | H Bowman | TT | Jumped only fairly, ended up racing in mid-division 3-wide, couldn't go on from 300M, eased towards the finish. (Jockey could offer no explanation for the disappointing performance.) |
