Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 3 | SEA TREASURE (CD335) | D Beadman | XB-/B | Settled 9Ls back in 10th at 1000 M, improved on the circle and eased to the front 300 M out, pushed clear, decisively. |
| 2 | 10 | PRIDEOFTHEORIENT (CH171) | D Whyte | CP | Messy start, on fence 5Ls back in 8th at the 1200 M, 2Ls down and challenging making final turn, no match for the winner but a comfortable 2nd. |
| 3 | 13 | DRAGON STRIDE (CC370) | H W Lai | -- | 2-wide and 4Ls back in 7th at 1200 M, made steady ground and ridden along to be a neck 2nd turning for home, one-paced in the climax but still placed. |
| 4 | 12 | LAZY BUDDIES (CC208) | M W Leung | B | Over 10Ls last at 1000 M, still last but only 5Ls back turning in, ran on past beaten rivals. |
| 5 | 6 | HAPPY HEROES (CD261) | F Coetzee | PC | 7Ls off pace in 8th out 2-wide at 1000 M, ridden along to take closer order at top of home straight, made only a minor impact. |
| 6 | 1 | DASH (CG236) | W M Lai | B | Midfield on fence about 3Ls off pace from 1200 M to 800 M, still thereabouts on straightening but bereft of acceleration. |
| 7 | 5 | GALLANT KNIGHT (CC189) | M Nunes | V/TT | Box-seated in 3rd about 2Ls from the speed on fence at 1200 M, remained in front rank until home straight but beaten by the 200 M. |
| 8 | 9 | SHINING DAY (CE163) | B Prebble | B/TT | 2-wide and 1L down in 2nd 1200 M out, disputing lead at 800 M and a neck clear on straightening, retreated quickly. |
| 9 | 7 | SUPER IDEAL (CC223) | E Saint-Martin | TT | 8Ls down in 9th at 1000 M, still worse than midfield but just 4Ls down off home turn, very one-paced. |
| 10 | 8 | FREEBIRD (CC319) | S Dye | CP-/P1 | 3-wide but with cover 3Ls from the speed disputing 4th at 1000 M, hung out as usual, left 4-wide no cover on the circle and petered out in the home straight. |
| 11 | 11 | LUCKY WORLD (CJ053) | Y T Cheng | TT | Soon led on fence, shared the lead at 800 M, swamped at the top of the home straight and eased down final 200 M, performance deemed unacceptable. |
| 12 | 2 | EVER KING (CE147) | K T Yeung | V-/PC1/TT | Caught 5-wide around first bend, kept 4-wide no cover by FREEBIRD down backstretch, yielded ground from 700 M out, beaten before home turn. |
