Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 8 | SINGING DINERS (CH063) | E Saint-Martin | TT | Standard jump, raced 3 wide in midfield, 4 to 5Ls back, had cover in mid-section, improved on bend, 4Ls down at 200 M, accelerated nicely once balanced dashing hard to claim them at 150 M and score nicely. |
| 2 | 1 | OPERATION SECRET (CH081) | M W Leung | -- | Began well, lobbed a prime position behind leader, tracked well throughout, right there turning, no clear run at 300 M, closed evenly when clear but couldn't sprint with winner last 200 M. |
| 3 | 14 | LIFELINE RAPIDE (CD204) | K T Yeung | TT | First to hit ground, pressed on but unable to slot in, raced 3 wide without cover, did share of work to bend, challenged turning, kept trying in straight and did well to hold on for 3rd given workload. |
| 4 | 10 | LOCAL POWER (CH296) | D Whyte | -- | Began with first few, raced in coveted 1 out 1 back spot, 2Ls back throughout, 1L down on turning, gap emerged and looked a threat but only held ground in run despite proving difficult to ride out. |
| 5 | 12 | BULLISH WIN (CH197) | K L Chui | TT | Away well, pressed on from a wide gate to race outside leader, had a fair trip but didn't settle on bend, hit lead turning in, held out to 200 M but couldn't dash with them last bit. |
| 6 | 5 | MAGIC SWEEP (CH299) | K Shea | B | Only fair to begin, ended up in midfield running line 4Ls from leaders, had a reasonable run and tracked nicely on bend, into clear on turning, made steady progress in straight without threatening. |
| 7 | 6 | MUTUAL FRIENDSHIP (CG260) | G Mosse | CP-/TT | Broke with them, ended up in midfield 4Ls back but raced keenly throughout, had a soft run in mid-section, in traffic turning and no clear passage in straight but appeared to be only struggling to hold ground. (Checked 50 M.) |
| 8 | 3 | MUTUAL FUN (CH098) | D Beadman | SR | Away poorly and lost ground when bumped, raced further back than usual, 7 to 8Ls away on rails, not aided by tempo. Still well back leaving bend saving ground on inside, made some headway in straight from an impossible spot. |
| 9 | 11 | STAY YOUNG (CD109) | Z Purton | -- | No real early pace after even jump, raced 2 wide in midfield 5Ls from front runners, travelled well between horses on bend, closed only at same speed when clear. |
| 10 | 9 | STILTON (CG173) | W M Lai | CP | No dash from outset and faded back to race 3 wide 6Ls away, not helped by standard pace, made a 4 wide run leaving circle, made some ground to 200 M but run ended late. |
| 11 | 2 | NICE KING (CG147) | Y T Cheng | B | Moderate beginning, soon back amongst rearward division 6Ls or so away, had a fair run but not helped by tempo, well back approaching turn, never really nearer and just plugged away late. |
| 12 | 4 | BOLD WIN (CE282) | G Boss | B | No dash from gates, raced behind midfield 6Ls back on fence, tempo against but spent nothing in run, well back to turn, found little when asked and struggled to make an impression. |
| 13 | 7 | GOAL KEEPER (CH277) | B Prebble | B1 | Bounced out, showed more pace than usual to take up the running, overraced in front and pressured throughout, under siege on turning in, found little and quickly weakened out. |
| 14 | 13 | NOBLE TWINS (CH257) | P H Lo | -- | Ordinary break, shared rear 8Ls back racing 2 wide, niggled along on turning, didn't pass a runner and gradually lost touch in straight. |
