| 1 | 9 | MASTER ABLE (CD349) | M Nunes | B | Over-raced in places, with cover about 2Ls back in 6th or so until home turn, dug in well in the straight to lead close home. |
| 2 | 10 | BRAVE COMMANDER (CC322) | K L Chui | TT | 2-wide and 2Ls back in 3rd at 1200 M, still right there at final bend and at 200 M, ran on fairly and only marginally outstayed. |
| 3 | 1 | MAGIC TEMPLE (CC368) | D Whyte | PC/TT | Crowded at start, 4Ls back in 8th at 1000 M, 4-wide turning for home, ran on to nick a place on the line but took his time doing it. |
| 4 | 8 | ALWAYS HAPPY (CE085) | Y T Cheng | B/TT | Improved effort, led by 2Ls on fence at 1200 M, disputing advantage from 800 M to home straight, still with a winning chance at 50 M and lost a place final strides. |
| 5 | 11 | TATTENHALL DELIGHT (CG068) | H K Yim | -- | Keen early and blundered at 1300 M, 5Ls down in 8th or so at 1000 M, without clear running when turning for home, stayed on fairly on fence, nearest at finish. |
| 6 | 13 | ONLY YOU (CD210) | M W Leung | -- | 2Ls back in 2nd on fence at 1200 M, 2Ls back in 4th taking home turn, stayed on at the same pace but still didn't finish far away. |
| 7 | 3 | KAISER'S PRIZE (CD350) | C K Tong | -- | Disputed pace out 3-wide no cover at 1000 M and 2-wide and on pace from 800 M to final turn, led by a neck at 200 M, no extra late and missed out on a place. |
| 8 | 4 | NAMJONG SMILE (CG181) | M Odendaal | PC | Checked at 1200 M, always at least 5Ls off pace and worse than midfield until home turn, plugged on at same pace. |
| 9 | 6 | RAIN IN SPRING (CC320) | S Dye | V- | Soon in rear about 8Ls behind, about 6Ls back in 10th taking final bend, never dangerous. |
| 10 | 5 | OPERA MAGIC (CB404) | G Mosse | B | Unbalanced at 1200 M, sent on 3-wide no cover at 800 M when 1L off pace 3rd and driven along to retain this position taking home turn, faded steadily. |
| 11 | 2 | TAKLEY (CE320) | O Doleuze | B1 | Always at least 6Ls off speed on fence in rear and always struggling. |
| 12 | 12 | HAPPY ALL AROUND (CD248) | H W Lai | B | Couldn't muster much early toe, checked at 1200 M, always without cover in rear about 5Ls or so off speed until homestretch, dropped out. |
