Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 1 | FRIENDSHIP (CE066) | C W Wong | -- | Soon led on fence, always a little over 1L clear through to home straight, similar margin to the good at 200 M, went further clear. |
| 2 | 11 | CHINOOK (CC108) | G Schofield | B | Box run on fence 2Ls off pace in 4th at 1000 M, over 1L back in 2nd straightening for home, did enough for 2nd but never a credible challenger to winner. |
| 3 | 10 | FANTASTIC WIN (CB188) | Y T Cheng | -- | 3-back on fence in midfield about 4Ls off speed through to homestretch, plugged on fairly for 3rd late. |
| 4 | 8 | DANRIVA (CA040) | O Doleuze | -- | Switched from wide gate to fence, 7Ls last at 1200 M, 5Ls down in 9th taking final bend, ran on quite well but just missed out on a place. |
| 5 | 7 | ZEONIC FRONTIER (CE013) | C Munce | B | With cover about 6Ls behind leader in 10th at 1100 M, 4-wide taking home turn when 4Ls back in mid-pack, one-paced. |
| 6 | 12 | THAT'S IT (CE223) | H K Yim | SR | Over-raced early on when 5Ls off the speed in 8th at 1100 M, similarly placed entering stretch, always held by principals. (See Racing Incidents.) |
| 7 | 4 | VINCERE (CE324) | E Saint-Martin | B | 3Ls back in 5th when 2-wide at 1100 M, dragged back by retreating KING OF WIN at 600 M and 6Ls down in 11th taking final bend, no impression thereafter. |
| 8 | 6 | AURELIAN (CC025) | H W Lai | V1 | One from rear 7Ls off the front at 1100 M, about 5Ls behind in 10th when without a clear passage at final bend, clear 200 M out but never dangerous. |
| 9 | 2 | HAPPY KID (CC326) | D Whyte | SR | 4Ls back in 6th when 2-wide at 1200 M, strung up in traffic off home turn and not clear until the 200 M when 6Ls back in 9th, much too late to retrieve any ground. |
| 10 | 3 | PRESENT TREASURE (CC077) | F Coetzee | TT | Always 3-wide no cover when about 2Ls off pace in 3rd or so until the 600 M, hard pressed to lie up turning for home, faded out. |
| 11 | 9 | BUDDIES POWER (CB201) | D Dunn | CP/TT | 4-wide no cover 1200 M when 5Ls behind leader in 9th, looped field to go 1L down 2nd with 500 M to go, under pressure to keep up off final bend, soon wilted. |
| 12 | 5 | KING OF WIN (CD395) | M W Leung | B2 | 2-wide and 1L down in 2nd at 1100 M, struggling to hold position at the 800 M, dropped back to 8Ls last off final bend, very weak effort. |
