| 1 | 11 | BROTHERS IN ARMS (CJ070) | Z Purton | -- | Out with them, took a trail on rails 7Ls off tearaway leader, always in 3rd position, travelled well turning, gradually improved at 300 M, made good ground final 200 M to take lead and score well. |
| 2 | 13 | LUCKY QUALITY (CH134) | O Doleuze | -- | Poor getaway, rushed forward shortly after start, circled field quickly and set up a 6Ls lead, set a solid tempo to bend, still well clear and held advantage to 100 M before tiring. Huge run. |
| 3 | 2 | GOOD GAINS (CJ293) | B Prebble | -- | Away fairly, ended up 8Ls off tearaway leader just behind first few, eased into clear on turning, made good progress final furlong to snatch 3rd late. Nice debut. |
| 4 | 1 | KING PRAWN SUPREME (CJ076) | F Coetzee | B2 | Began smartly, took a spot behind pace 7Ls from leader, raced first without cover throughout, gradually improved turning in, kept coming and just lost place battle late. |
| 5 | 14 | PRESTO (CJ048) | D Whyte | -- | Standard break, ended up 3 wide behind midfield 10Ls off front, did it tough without cover throughout, still well back on turning, made remarkable ground last 300 M to finish 5th. |
| 6 | 4 | WINE WIN (CG018) | D Beadman | -- | First to hit ground, forced to follow a hot speed with leader 6Ls clear, kept chasing rounding bend, stuck to task to 200 M but emptied out soon after. |
| 7 | 9 | ROCKET POWER (CH136) | K L Chui | B/TT | Moderate jump, took a midfield spot, had a fair run with speed on, gave a big start at 400 M, closed soundly without threatening. |
| 8 | 10 | FLY HIGH (CH126) | H W Lai | -- | Well enough away, assumed a midfield role 8 to 9Ls back in 2 wide line, no excuses to bend, lacked a finishing burst and just battled away in straight. |
| 9 | 6 | FAVOURITE SUPREME (CH203) | Y T Cheng | B/TT | Moderate jump, ridden along to race 10Ls back on fence, aided by a strong speed, still had job to do on turning, made some headway but just held ground last 200 M. |
| 10 | 7 | CENTURY SUPER STAR (CE070) | W M Lai | BO | Began in line, posted a little wide in midfield 9Ls back, shifted 4 wide on bend, urged along at 400 M, peaked on run at 200 M and battled away thereafter. |
| 11 | 3 | OCEAN TRANQUIL (CE155) | C K Tong | PC-/B2 | Taken back from a wide gate, ended up at rear a long way from front, pace suited but set enormous task still last turning, passed a few beaten runners late. |
| 12 | 8 | SOUNDS FANTASTIC (CH146) | K T Yeung | TT | Jumped OK but faded back from outset, at rear in 2 wide line 12Ls or more from speed, had pace to suit, too far back on bend, did make a little ground but made no serious impression. |
| 13 | 5 | CONFUCIUS CLASSIC (CJ141) | E Saint-Martin | -- | Restrained from outset, raced close to rear on rails, overraced in mid-section, well back turning, made minimal headway in stretch. |
| 14 | 12 | FLYING SPRINTER (CD021) | B Doyle | -- | Taken back from widest draw, ended up 3 wide sharing rear, had cover but did share of work to bend, never got into it. |
