| 1 | 5 | WONDERFUL BLESSING (CE198) | B Prebble | B/TT | Steadied early to race midfield the fence. Kept to the inside in the straight and after obtaining clear running near the 200 M, picked up strongly to win well. |
| 2 | 9 | HARRY HARRY (CD019) | G Mosse | XB/B2 | Began well and went forward to race behind the leader on the fence near the 1200 M. Hit the lead after the 200 M, but was mowed down in the run to the post. |
| 3 | 7 | MEATH (CE143) | Y T Cheng | SR/V | From the outside barrier was taken across behind runners in the early stages and raced towards the rear, 3 deep with cover. Made its run around the field after the 800 M, however was posted 4-wide with the leaders. Stayed on well. |
| 4 | 11 | TRAVEL LEADER (CD226) | M W Leung | -- | Began awkwardly, lost ground and then despite being ridden along failed to muster speed settling near to the rear on the rails. Worked home soundly. |
| 5 | 1 | ROMANTIC GREEN (CG123) | O Doleuze | BO/TT | Took some time to take up the lead, eventually doing so near the 1200 M. Was under siege by challengers near the 200 M eventually tiring inside the 100 M. |
| 6 | 10 | TRIUMPH (CC214) | C W Wong | V | From a wide gate didn't have the early speed and was allowed to shift back with cover near the 1600 M. After the 1200 M, was left racing 3-wide without cover, midfield. Vied for the lead near the 200 M, but faded soon after turning. |
| 7 | 6 | RED WINE HONEY (CE287) | S K Sit | B | Slow to begin and raced in last position. Still well back turning. Made some late ground in the run home to be nearest on line. |
| 8 | 2 | SWEET BABY (CG294) | G Boss | B | Travelled comfortably in a midfield position, 2-wide with cover. When the tempo quickened after the 600 M shifted 3-wide to improve. However responded only fairly, then after straightening did not lengthen stride and battled on. |
| 9 | 4 | CHEERFUL HEART (CC206) | D Beadman | B | Raced near the tail of the field 1 off with cover. Failed to quicken over the last 300 M. |
| 10 | 3 | CONNOISSEUR'S LOVE (CD234) | Z Purton | B | Was forced to work early to stay with the early pace, after being 3-wide no cover near the 1600 M pressed forward to settle outside the leader a length back. Was still in contention at the furlong but weakened soon after. |
| 11 | 12 | DECAGONAL (CH244) | W M Lai | B/TT | Settled 3 back the fence. Peeled out turning for home but struggled in the straight. |
| 12 | 8 | KEEN SPIRIT (CJ022) | D Whyte | TT | Raced handy to the speed, 1 off with cover. Was a beaten horse passing the 500 M. (See Racing Incident.) |
