Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 6 | ROCKET POWER (CH136) | F Coetzee | B/TT | Hampered at start, led on fence by about 1L from 1100 M to home turn, shot 2Ls clear at the 200 M, challenged late and only just hung on. |
| 2 | 5 | SPARE A DIME (CH155) | A Delpech | -- | Last about 7Ls or 8Ls off pace down the back, same margin behind turning for home, improved to be 3Ls down in mid-division at 200 M, kept on finding, post came a few strides too soon. |
| 3 | 11 | BEAUTIFUL CHOICE (CH130) | M W Leung | -- | Untidy break, a neck 2nd on fence early, box-seat position 2Ls back in 3rd from halfway to home turn, every chance of a quinella finish at 200 M, no extra late. |
| 4 | 3 | FIRST KNIGHT (CB357) | O Doleuze | B | Held up worse than midfield as usual, about 5Ls behind pace at 1000 M and much the same turning for home, made some late headway for 4th. |
| 5 | 1 | GALLANT KNIGHT (CC189) | K T Yeung | V/TT | 2-wide and 1L back in 2nd when 900 M out, 2Ls down in 2nd at homestretch entrance, failed to quicken and faded to 5th. |
| 6 | 4 | REAL SURPRISE (CE301) | D Whyte | B1/TT | With cover about 3Ls behind speed in 6th at 1000 M, niggled along to improve when 4Ls down turning in, hampered at the 200 M when held, one-paced. |
| 7 | 14 | SABRE AND GOLD (CE179) | C W Wong | B- | Restrained towards rear about 6Ls from the front with cover, about 7Ls down in 11th at the final bend, moderate late headway down centre of the course. |
| 8 | 9 | MONTY (CH164) | M Nunes | -- | 3-back the fence about 4Ls from the lead in midfield until home turn, hampered 200 M out but was well held in any case. |
| 9 | 12 | MULLAAD (CG259) | Z Purton | TT | Crowded at start, 4-back on fence in 9th or 10th about 5Ls off pace for most of back straight, about 6Ls down entering straight, never posed much of a threat. |
| 10 | 8 | NOT QUITE PERFECT (CG254) | W M Lai | TT- | Raced prominently, 2-wide and 2Ls back in 4th at the 1000 M, ridden along and struggling to improve off final bend, beaten when interfered with 200 M out, eased down. |
| 11 | 10 | MR FLOODLIGHT (CG257) | S K Sit | B | With cover in midfield about 3Ls off pace at halfway, hard pressed to improve when over 4Ls back on straightening, held when badly checked 200 M out, eased down. |
| 12 | 7 | TOP SPEED (CH019) | Y T Cheng | B | Mostly wide without cover throughout, 4-wide no cover when 3Ls back in 5th at halfway, yielded ground on the circle and beaten before entering home straight. |
| 13 | 2 | SUPER GOAL MASTER (CG220) | G Mosse | TT | Poor effort, held up in 13th about 6Ls off early pace, briefly caught 4-wide without cover at 800 M, 5-wide (widest of all) and a good margin back entering home straight, soon beaten. |
| 14 | 13 | KA KA SMART (CG042) | H W Lai | B | About 4Ls back in 8th or 9th at the 1000 M and with cover, lost this position on the side and relegated to 9Ls last off final bend, very weak finish. |
