Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 8 | WELL NOTED (CG313) | F Coetzee | -- | Jumped nicely, showed good speed to cross them and take up running, rolled along in lead 1L clear, held an advantage on turning, kicked strongly in straight and continued to defy them scoring with a little in hand. |
| 2 | 7 | CRYSTAL (CE209) | C W Wong | B | Away with them, pressed on to hold spot behind the leader, had run of race on rails and was close enough on bend, not much room for most of straight but improved when gap appeared last 200 M to snatch 2nd. |
| 3 | 12 | FAIR WIN (CE027) | W M Lai | -- | Began nicely, showed good dash to assume spot outside leader 1L away, travelled kindly and poised to strike on turn, challenged to most of straight and fought on well just losing 2nd late. |
| 4 | 9 | SPARKLING STAR (CD055) | S K Sit | B | Standard getaway, faded back to be in rearward division, raced 2 wide 7 to 8Ls back in last few, tracked 3 wide on circle, made run through horses and made up many lengths last 200 M to make frame. |
| 5 | 2 | HE CAN TANGO (CG288) | O Doleuze | B | Jumped well, held a prominent spot 1 out 1 back 2Ls away, enjoyed an ideal trip and tracked well on turning, eased out and made presence felt to be 3rd at 200 M, just didn't go on last bit. Even effort. |
| 6 | 14 | RICH FOR ALL (CG023) | D Whyte | B | Fastest out from outside alley, went on with it but posted 3 and 4 wide without cover 4 to 5Ls back in midfield, gradually improved to be 3Ls back turning, stuck to task but hard run took toll. Solid effort. |
| 7 | 11 | PRIME DELIGHT (CE193) | E Saint-Martin | B- | Tardy getaway, ended up at tail from awkward draw, at rear 8 to 9Ls back, still well back on turning, came to extreme outside and closed hard last furlong to be nearest on line. Gave too much start. |
| 8 | 4 | LIFELINE RAPIDE (CD204) | M Nunes | B-/TT | Fair to leave gates, went forward but posted 3 wide without cover 2 to 3Ls back, did share of work to bend, gradually imnproved but struggled to dash last 200 M and just held ground to line. |
| 9 | 6 | NICE KING (CG147) | B Prebble | -- | Standard away, lacked early dash and settled behind midfield, 2 wide 6Ls away, in traffic between horses on bend, didn't look comfortable and lacked usual finish, just plugging away when clear. (Jockey concerned with action.) |
| 10 | 5 | MERIDIAN PRIDE (CH057) | K T Yeung | B | Slow into stride, ended up further back than expected, 5Ls away on rails, had a quiet time but travelled keenly in mid-section, kept to rails in straight but made only moderate headway. One paced. |
| 11 | 10 | SUPER SURPRISE (CH210) | A Delpech | -- | Away with line, niggled to take up a midfield position, raced 4Ls back on fence, didn't spend much to bend, lacked a dash on turning and just battled away to line. Looked in need of run. |
| 12 | 13 | FLORAL PRINCE (CG299) | H W Lai | B | OK jump but failed to muster, posted 3 wide with cover 4 to 5Ls back in midfield, raced keenly in a different role and was struggling on bend, only managed one speed in straight and plodded late. |
| 13 | 1 | MULLAAD (CG259) | M W Leung | CP- | Awkward to jump, urged along from outset, raced 7Ls back on rails sharing rear, still well back to turn, did next to nothing in straight only passing a tired runner late. |
| 14 | 3 | RICH DRAGON (CG079) | G Mosse | B | Began with them, raced more prominently 2 wide 3 to 4Ls back, travelled keenly and made the bend awkwardly, urged along on turning in, found little when run presented and dropped out tamely late. |
