| 1 | 8 | GLORY YEARS (CE023) | G Mosse | B | Settled well back in the run and commenced to gather in the field turning for home. Worked through the field in the straight and found enough to prevail. |
| 2 | 2 | DIAMOND BRILLIANCE (CH002) | K L Chui | B | Parked on the back of the speed, 1 off with cover. Stayed to the inside in the run home and finished off nicely. |
| 3 | 11 | SHY BALDY (CH168) | Z Purton | TT | Ridden along early from a wide gate to cross to the front but was unable to clear one runner to its inside and raced one off in the lead. Kicked clear near the 200 M and stuck to task well in the run to the post. |
| 4 | 10 | BUTTERFIELD (CG178) | D Whyte | B | Settled back in the field 2 deep with cover, came wide in the straight and ran on strongly. |

| 6 | 4 | FLYING SPRINTER (CD021) | O Doleuze | B | Settled in front of midfield the fence, never threatened. |
| 7 | 6 | KINGIFLY (CG020) | C K Tong | TT | Taken back from a wide barrier and raced in 2nd last position on the rails. Worked home late. |
| 8 | 3 | NIRVANA (CH270) | S Dye | -- | Couldn't match the early speed and settled last. Ridden along from the 600 M, and only passed tiring horses over the latter stages. |
| 9 | 7 | JUST RIGHT (CH300) | W M Lai | SR | Raced near the rear of the field, was wide in the straight and struggled over the concluding stages. |
| 10 | 9 | DRAGON AND GOLD (CD244) | C W Wong | -- | Throughout the race travelled wide and without cover behind the pace and in the Straight gave ground. (Mucopus.) |
| 11 | 1 | CLASSA FOR EVER (CD085) | H W Lai | -- | From gate 1 worked hard from the outset to hold its forward advantage on the rail, maintained an on speed position for most of the trip, punctured after entering the straight. |
