Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 10 | PALIO KING (CG073) | G Mosse | TT | Broke fairly, on fence about 2.5Ls back in midfield down the back, 3Ls down in 7th turning for home out 2-wide, picked up well to lead 50 M out, stayed on well. |
| 2 | 1 | DR POSSI (CE288) | C W Wong | -- | 3-wide with cover in rear no better than 5Ls from the front until 600 M out, 5-wide (widest of all) taking final bend, ran on very strongly down the centre but post came too soon. |
| 3 | 7 | PROGRESSING TIMES (CC231) | M W Leung | TT | Crowded at start, settled about 6Ls last until home straight, ran on well through final stages to nick a place in final strides. |
| 4 | 12 | WITHALLMYHEART (CE268) | A Delpech | B1/TT | Away well and soon led, joined for the lead by BEAUTY PLUS at halfway, headed at 200 M by that horse but fought back, grabbed by winner at 50 M, tired late and just missed a place. |
| 5 | 6 | BEAUTY PLUS (CC213) | C K Tong | TT | Close up but caught 3-wide no cover early, pressed on to dispute lead out 2-wide at 600 M, went a head in front at 200 M, caught by winner 50 M out and faded slightly in final stages. |
| 6 | 9 | NEW TRIUMPH (CG105) | F Coetzee | CP | 2-wide and mostly midfield or better no worse than 2-1/2Ls from the pace until home turn when driven along, always just held by principals. |
| 7 | 5 | BUDDIES SPIRIT (CD042) | D Whyte | -- | Very well placed through to home turn on fence and 2Ls back in 3rd, slightly disappointing in his one-paced finish considering the run he had. |
| 8 | 11 | SILLY BOY (CC094) | K T Yeung | B/TT | Prominent early on, 2.5Ls back on fence in 4th taking home turn, outpaced and always booked for a midfield finish through final 200 M. |
| 9 | 3 | GOLDEN STRIDE (CA343) | W M Lai | B-/TT | 4Ls or 5Ls off pace in 9th through to home straight, never troubled leaders. |
| 10 | 8 | ACCELERATOR (CG179) | Y T Cheng | -- | Keen early in front trio, lost position from 600 M and 4Ls back in midfield and under pressure turning for home, never dangerous thereafter. |
| 11 | 4 | AMAZING CHOICE (CG163) | H K Yim | B1 | Never on terms, always on fence in rear bunch about 5Ls off pace, no threat. |
| 12 | 2 | MY PRIDE (CG017) | O Doleuze | V | 3-wide with cover early on when 3Ls back in midfield, left without cover from 600 M and struggling in midfield 4-wide on straightening, dropped out quickly. |
