Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 11 | EXPLODING (CH046) | Z Purton | XB/H | 4Ls behind pace in midfield when 3-wide but with cover, edged closer on straightening, toe-to-toe with runner up from 200 M to line, just prevailed. |
| 2 | 7 | VIENTO (CH181) | D Whyte | -- | Within 2Ls of the pace in 4th early on and 1L down in 2nd off home bend, briefly led 250 M out and duelled for the lead inside final 200 M, nosed out on line. |
| 3 | 3 | MAGIC TEMPLE (CC368) | E Saint-Martin | PC/TT | Did not get as far back this time, 5Ls down at halfway in 8th, made some decent late ground for a place without seriously troubling quinella pair. |
| 4 | 1 | THAT'S IT (CE223) | B Doyle | B | Led by 1L on the rails after 200 M, headed about 250 M out and anchored by top weight inside final furlong and missed a place. |
| 5 | 10 | AMAZING JOURNEY (CH281) | K C Leung | B/TT | With and without cover in midfield until home straight when wide, 4Ls back in 8th and tapped for toe, finished off at same pace. |
| 6 | 8 | COSMO SUCCESSOR (CH118) | O Doleuze | TT- | 3Ls back in 6th out 2-wide at 900 M, niggled along on the circle and all out to get within 2Ls of the lead at the 200 M, no extra. |
| 7 | 12 | LEADER (CG012) | Y T Cheng | SR | One from rear about 6Ls or 7Ls off the pace until home straight, made a little ground but never much of a threat to leading players. |
| 8 | 9 | JOYFUL YEARS (CG143) | H W Lai | -- | Went back as usual and 8Ls behind early pace, 5-wide (widest of all) swinging for home, retrieved a little late ground but of no great consequence overall. |
| 9 | 5 | ROYAL DOMAIN (CH287) | M Du Plessis | B | Didn't break well, 3-wide no cover throughout, 1L back in 2nd at the 800 M, extra work exacted its toll and one-paced in final 400 M. |
| 10 | 6 | SKY WALKER (CJ319) | K L Chui | TT1 | Slowest away, never travelling well, unbalanced at the 800 M when 6Ls back in 10th, soon struggling and left behind. |
| 11 | 2 | ASIAN CITRUS (CH246) | F Coetzee | B/H1/TT | Very tame finish having box-seated behind the pace in 3rd or 4th about 2Ls from the speed until home straight, no excuses. |
| 12 | 4 | WINNING FIRST (CJ120) | D Beadman | H/TT | Towards rear about 6Ls from the early speed, keen in places, 5Ls back off home turn but very weak on the run-in. |
