Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 10 | DASH AHEAD (CD199) | D Whyte | SR | Broke only fairly, drifted back to midfield, raced 3 back on rails 4 to 5Ls away, enjoyed a good trip using little in mid section, hard ridden to make ground turning, angled out to middle and closed race off best to score slogging win. |
| 2 | 11 | ELEPHANT DANCE (CA391) | W M Lai | B | Broke well, showed good dash to take up running, pressured in middle stages and shaded throughout (maintained rails), drove through to hold lead on turning, kicked strongly at 200 M and fought off challengers to 100 M just tiring late. |
| 3 | 2 | NOBLE HEART (CC355) | C K Tong | B/TT | Away with them, pressed forward to take up forward spot, raced 1 out 1 back in middle stages, had run of race to turn, gained split on turning and loomed strongly at 200 M just unable to go on with it last bit. Fair effort. |
| 4 | 6 | NASA PEARL (CC068) | O Doleuze | -- | Standard to begin, hard ridden to drive through to settle down behind leader, used little thereafter 2 to 3Ls away, followed rails in straight and looked likely with inside run at 200 M but lacked dash to capture place. |
| 5 | 9 | TACTIC KING (CG081) | A Delpech | TT | Fastest into stride, allowed to roll forward, unable to get close and raced in midfield 3 to 4Ls away 3 wide with cover to turn, came with run 5 wide into straight, made some ground down centre of track without threatening. |
| 6 | 5 | CLASSIC DELIGHT (CD372) | S Dye | BO | Slow to begin, settled near rear as usual, raced on rails 7 to 8Ls away, niggled along to keep in touch, made wide run on turn, not a lot of room entering straight but showed nothing when clear, kept on same clip against outside rail. |
| 7 | 1 | GOLD FIELD (CC096) | B Prebble | B | Jumped with them, no real speed, took up midfield position, raced 2 wide 5 to 6Ls from pace, well back in traffic on turning, got clear entering straight but was one paced in run home making no real impression. |
| 8 | 12 | SUNNY RIVIERA (CC240) | D Dunn | TT | Slow to begin, niggled along when couldn't go with them early, raced detached from field some 12+Ls away, hard ridden with field to beat on turn, switched to outside and passed some weakening runners late. |
| 9 | 14 | HAPPY CONTENDER (CC152) | K L Chui | TT | Average to begin, unable to go in early stages, settled in last position 12 or more lengths off pace, lobbed along at tail throughout, well back and not travelling on turn, passed only tired runners in run to line. |
| 10 | 7 | SOCRATES (CD336) | Y T Cheng | B | Broke well, ridden with stick to cross from wide alley and challenge for front, raced outside leader applying pressure throughout, had 1/2L advantage to turn, couldn't go on when asked at 300 M and weakened right out. (Mucopus.) |
| 11 | 3 | RED PEPPER (CA196) | G Schofield | -- | Average to jump, pushed along from outset, settled down 7 to 8Ls away 2 wide near rear in mid section, still well back on turn, found nothing when asked to come wide on turning and battled to line. |
| 12 | 8 | AMSTERDAM (CE140) | H W Lai | H1/TT | Standard to begin, drifted back to worse than midfield, covered ground in mid section 3 wide 6 to 7Ls from pace, bumped at 600 M, tracked 5 wide with run into straight and came to extreme outside but had nothing left last 300 M. |
| 13 | 13 | CONNOISSEUR'S LOVE (CD234) | C W Wong | B/H | Average to break, hard ridden to go forward wide early, trapped 3 wide outside leaders without cover whilst applying pressure in mid section, began to struggle on turning for home, dropped right out. |
| 14 | 4 | DAY OR NIGHT (CE137) | C Munce | -- | Jumped with them, pushed on to seek closer order early, unable to get to rail, always working 3 to 4Ls away 4 wide without cover, hard ridden at midpoint, went backwards thereafter. Beaten a long way (never comfortable). |
