Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 14 | GOLDEN YEARS (CB010) | A Marcus | -- | Worked forward to make running from wide gate, hugged rail 1200 M out. Soon ceded advantage to be 1L off lead, switched off rail 600 M to regain lead, kicked a few lengths clear 250 M out, impressively. |
| 2 | 4 | MADE TO FIGURE (BS161) | D Whyte | SR | Soon settled 6Ls off pace in rear of midfield. 4 or 5Ls down turning in, ran on steadily to claim a distant 2nd without ever looking likely to give winner a race. |
| 3 | 1 | ASIA RISING (BT270) | W C Marwing | -- | Held up 7 or 8Ls off speed towards rear. Not much room at top of home straight, made gradual ground final 300 M when into clear. |
| 4 | 2 | DR MORE (BV164) | S Dye | -- | Settled 2 or 3 wide just forward of midfield. 3-1/2Ls adrift straightening up, kept on same pace before losing 3rd spot close home. |
| 5 | 3 | BULL'S EYE (BV148) | F Coetzee | -- | Midfield on fence before dropping back a bit 1000 M out. Under pressure 500 M out and switched to outer to commence run, made only moderate headway, soon one-paced. |
| 6 | 10 | IMPRESSIONIST (BT077) | D Dunn | B | Held up at the back. Made steady headway final 300 M on outer passing beaten runners. |
| 7 | 5 | MASTER FAY (BV193) | G Mosse | -- | Flew out of gates then niggled to maintain handy position on fence. 2Ls down on straightening and looked a chance until 250 M out when beginning to tire, swamped final stages. |
| 8 | 7 | TRIUMPHANT MASTER (CB209) | Y T Cheng | -- | Bit keen then steadily dropped towards rear. Made some headway after straightening, no extra final 150 M. |
| 9 | 9 | WINNING BOY (BT220) | C Williams | B/TT | Waited with at rear, last into straight, ran past tired runners closing stages. |
| 10 | 13 | NORTHERN FLYER (BS032) | K H Ting | -- | Hard driven from difficult barrier to travel just in front of midfield never less than 3 wide. Unable to find extra after straightening, gave ground steadily from the 300 M. |
| 11 | 6 | FLORAL KING (CB370) | H K Yim | -- | Midfield on rail, came under pressure 500 M out, only very brief effort, soon one-paced and gave ground steadily final 200 M. |
| 12 | 12 | NOBLE BOY (BV222) | W M Lai | B/TT | Ridden to stay in mid-division 3 wide, unable to quicken on straightening when taken wider, gave ground from 150 M. |
| 13 | 8 | EASTERN PURPLE (CB317) | S K Sit | B | Driven to go forward, clear advantage 1000 M out and pinched rail near the 900 M. Headed passing 600 M and was well beaten over 300 M out. |
| 14 | 11 | ESPRESSO (BP205) | M W Leung | P | Broke fairly, steadily improved to be 2Ls off lead 1200 M out. Run ended soon after straightening and dropped away quickly. (Bled.) |
