Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 4 | CHEERFUL HAPPINESS (CE220) | D Whyte | V/XB | Prominent early, briefly left 3-wide no cover at 900 M, sent on 1L off pace in 2nd from 800 M to home turn, led 300 M out, always holding a slight advantage, asserted close home. |
| 2 | 12 | DOLPHIN STAR (CC271) | K S Yu | B/SR | Big effort despite a very tough trip, 4-wide no cover 3Ls off pace in midfield at 1000 M, pressed on out wide to be a neck 3rd on straightening, dug in gamely and only held final strides. |
| 3 | 3 | BIG WINNER (CD229) | K W Tsui | B/TT | Slowly away, with cover about 4Ls back in mid-pack until home turn, stayed on fairly well to snare 3rd in final metres. |
| 4 | 1 | EVER KING (CE147) | B Prebble | V/TT | Bumped at start, covered up around midfield about 5Ls off pace early on, headway to be 2Ls down off home turn, 1L down in 3rd and every chance at 200 M, no extra and lost a place final bounds. |
| 5 | 14 | SHOW BRAVELY (CB388) | C W Wong | B | Disputing early speed out 2-wide, settled into 'one out one back position' from 1000 M to home turn, given every possible hope to place but lacked the ability. |
| 6 | 10 | COULDN'T CARE LESS (CD009) | S Dye | -- | Had excuses for not placing, 8Ls behind in 12th at 1000 M, moved a little closer taking home turn, without clear passage at 300 M and 200 M, stayed on well out wide once clear, nearest at finish. |
| 7 | 13 | JOY AND TREASURE (CD251) | Y T Cheng | V/TT | Keen early on when worse than midfield and about 6Ls off the pace, 4Ls down in midfield at final turn, had his chance to figure but lacked any run on. |
| 8 | 6 | SABRE AND GOLD (CE179) | G Mosse | B | Slow break, 4-back on fence at 1000 M about 5Ls off pace in 10th until home turn, checked 250 M out, switched inside 150 M out and ran on okay late, nearest at finish. |
| 9 | 2 | TELECOM TYCOON (CC039) | A Delpech | B | Nicely placed on fence about 3Ls off speed in midfield through to straightening for the judge, failed to quicken up sufficiently, no excuses. |
| 10 | 8 | SUNRISE STRIKER (CE278) | H K Yim | CP | Awkward break, 3-wide no cover disputing early tempo, led by 1L on fence at 900 M, headed about 300 M out and soon swamped. |
| 11 | 7 | TOUCH DOWN (CB013) | P H Lo | B | 10Ls last at halfway, about 8Ls last turning for home, never really got going. |
| 12 | 5 | A PLUS FIT (CD013) | O Doleuze | B | Never travelling well, bumped at start, niggled along when 5Ls back in 9th out 2-wide at 1000 M, under strong pressure out 4-wide (widest of all) when over 4Ls back towards rear, laboured. |
| 13 | 11 | STAR OF NORTHERN (CD173) | C K Tong | B | Disputed early pace on fence, eased back to box-seat position on fence from 1000 M to home turn, came off the bridle entering home straight and found zero. |
| 14 | 9 | SUPER BONUS (CG067) | K L Chui | B | Very weak effort, always in rear about 8Ls back at halfway and marginally closer taking home turn, well beaten over 200 M out. |
