Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 6 | TOUCH DOWN (CB013) | Y T Cheng | B | About 5Ls back in 6th out 2-wide with cover from 1000 M to home straight, moved 3Ls back in 3rd at 200 M, ran on well late despite interference to be a nose 2nd, placed 1st after Stewards' inquiry. (Distressed.) |
| 2 | 7 | CHINA SPORTFIELD (CG032) | D Nikolic | -- | Ideally placed on fence in 3rd between 2Ls and 4Ls off speed from 1000 M to home turn, led about 200 M out, shifted left final 50 M, won by a nose but placed 2nd after Stewards' inquiry. |
| 3 | 12 | DENDRANTHEMA LOVE (CD073) | S Dye | CP | 3-back on fence about 5Ls back in 5th at 1200 M, ridden along when similarly placed at final turn, stayed on fairly late for a place. |
| 4 | 9 | MIRACLE DRAGON (CD254) | F Coetzee | CP-/H- | In rear about 9Ls behind speed at 1000 M, still a good way behind off final bend, stayed on well late, never nearer. |
| 5 | 8 | BALL OF FIRE (CD020) | H K Yim | B/TT | Keen early on in rear, still 9Ls back when checked at 500 M, ran on fairly well in the straight, never nearer. |
| 6 | 5 | FAIRPLAY (CC258) | E Saint-Martin | TT | Caught 3-wide no cover early on, got in 2-wide at 1100 M, mostly 4th between 3Ls and 5Ls off pace until home turn, one-paced thereafter. |
| 7 | 4 | X-SPEED (CC341) | C W Wong | B | Pressured to lead on fence by 1L at 1100 M, appeared to be going well when 3Ls clear at final bend, found nothing off the bit and dropped out very rapidly once headed at 200 M. |
| 8 | 2 | DONGGUAN VICTORY (CB382) | D Whyte | -- | Around midfield with cover about 6Ls off pace at 1000 M, under pressure to try and improve at 500 M, never dangerous. |
| 9 | 11 | SPARKLE (CB406) | H W Lai | V/TT | Ridden along early when 8Ls off pace in 9th, worse off when turning for home, never much of a factor. |
| 10 | 10 | SUNRISE LINING (CG030) | B Prebble | P-/CP1/XB1 | Away well but couldn't lead on fence, disputed quick early tempo, 2Ls back in 2nd at 800M, hard ridden when 3Ls back in 2nd off final turn, faded out. |
| 11 | 3 | DANRIVA (CA040) | W M Lai | -- | Always caught 3-wide without cover, about 5Ls back in midfield at halfway, hard pressed to lie up 500 M out, beaten soon after straightening. |
| 12 | 1 | PLENTY OF TALENT (CE329) | C K Tong | -- | Unacceptable performance, always off the bridle and struggling in rear, beaten a long way out. |
