Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 4 | THUNDER STORM (CA226) | B Prebble | B/H | Tucked 4-back on fence about 5Ls off pace in 9th or so at 800 M, challenge along the inner in homestretch to lead 150 M out, stayed on well. |
| 2 | 5 | SHATIN WIN WIN (CE284) | E Saint-Martin | XB/H | Ragged start losing many lengths, detached about 12Ls last at 1000 M, still well back on straightening, ran on very strongly towards stands' side in the finish but post came too soon. (See Racing Incidents.) |
| 3 | 3 | DEVON FLAIR (CD240) | F Coetzee | V/TT | Always better than midfield with cover, 4Ls off pace at halfway and closer at final turn, every chance at 200 M when 1L back in 2nd, failed to sustain the run but did enough for 3rd. |
| 4 | 8 | SPARKLE (CB406) | O Doleuze | TT | Sluggish at the start and 10Ls back in 13th at halfway, 5-wide (widest of all) turning for home, good headway to move 3Ls back in midfield at 200 M but this burst soon ended. |
| 5 | 11 | FRIENDS FOREVER (CD245) | K S Yu | SR/V | 2Ls back in 2nd on fence behind a strong pace at 1000 M, inched closer at top of home straight and given every hope of at least a place, failed to finish off. |
| 6 | 6 | AMBITION (CC079) | D Whyte | B/TT | Over-raced in places early on when worse than midfield about 5Ls from the speed, looked dangerous when disputing 2nd place about 1L off pace at 200 M but effort petered out late. |
| 7 | 13 | UNIVERSAL KOMISSAR (CE096) | S K Sit | B | Driven to lead on fence by 2Ls at 1000 M, went a bit too quick in front, headed about 150 M out and faded late. |
| 8 | 14 | NATURAL MODEL (CD191) | A Delpech | B/TT | Settled towards rear 3-wide with cover and 6Ls off pace at 1000 M, all out to get within 3Ls of the lead in midfield at 200 M, retreated late. |
| 9 | 7 | SHANGHAI DELIGHT (CC352) | H K Yim | B | Never really got competitive, 8Ls back in 12th at 1000 M, closest when 5Ls back in 10th or so at the 200 M but tired again close home. |
| 10 | 10 | JOYFUL WORLD (CC200) | H W Lai | B/TT | Uncharacteristically slow to begin and raced keenly early on, 4Ls off speed in midfield from 800 M to home straight, could not get any closer and weakened tamely late. (Mucus in trachea.) |
| 11 | 2 | CHAMP DRAGON (CB278) | C K Tong | TT | Raced close to a strong pace 2-wide in 3rd about 2Ls off speed until home turn, all out to hold this position at the 300 M out, faded rapidly, performance deemed unacceptable. |
| 12 | 1 | BUDDIES POWER (CB201) | K T Yeung | B/TT | Always very wide (4-wide) without cover and 3Ls off pace at halfway, lost position on the circle and fell away at top of home straight. (Swollen fetlock next morning.) |
| 13 | 12 | SUPER DRAGON (CE245) | W M Lai | V | 3-back on fence at 800 M when over 3Ls off pace at 800 M, under pressure 500 M out tomaintain position, failed and dropped away quickly, performance deemed unacceptable. |
| 14 | 9 | GLOBE RIVER (CD228) | M Nunes | B-/P1/H/TT | Worse than midfield 3-wide no cover 5Ls off pace at halfway, lost his place on the bend and 8Ls down in 13th at top of homestretch, performance deemed unacceptable. |
