| 1 | 3 | WALKONTHEWILDSIDE (CG033) | B Prebble | -- | Taken back from the outside barrier, got over to the rail before the 1st turn, travelled smoothly in the rear 9Ls back, weaved his way through in the last 300 M, stayed on strongly to get there just in time. |
| 2 | 9 | LOCAL POWER (CH296) | C W Wong | -- | Jumped well, took advantage of the inside draw and settled on the rail not far off the leaders, eased out rounding the home turn, gave plenty when asked but was unable to fend off the winner's late challenge. |
| 3 | 8 | MASTER GUNNER (CJ142) | D Beadman | -- | Well enough away, guided to a position better than midfield, travelled 2-wide and 4Ls back, crept closer making the final turn, hit the front 250 M out, battled on inside 100 M but was caught over the final stages. |
| 4 | 1 | HOLD HANDS (CH116) | C K Tong | -- | Restrained on jumping and settled towards the rear about 8Ls off the pace, moved up on the outside passing 500 M, came home fairly strongly despite hanging in under pressure, not beaten far. |
| 5 | 11 | WARM EMBRACES (CJ162) | W M Lai | -- | Broke well from the inside barrier, held a midfield position on the rail 5-6Ls back, shuffled further back as they turned, ran on OK 300 M out but could do no more in the closing stages. |
| 6 | 5 | CHATER SILK (CG050) | D Whyte | B | Began awkwardly, taken to a rearward position along the fence, remained there to turn, switched wide to avoid traffic, took time to muster speed and was doing his best work inside 150 M. |
| 7 | 10 | HIGH INTELLIGENT (CD317) | K L Chui | B/TT | Bounced out, hard driven to take up early running at a steady tempo, taken over near 900 M, gave a fair response when asked 300 M out, fought on but no extra inside 100 M. |
| 8 | 6 | FLUKE (CJ061) | H W Lai | -- | Away in line, taken forward to track leaders in a handy position, kept to inside on straightening, made some progress without threatening. |
| 9 | 7 | VIKING TOR (CE207) | Y T Cheng | CP | Began awkwardly, raced tight towards the 1st turn, assumed a spot behind midfield about 6Ls back, still had plenty to do turning in, held up near 200 M and ran on fairly afterwards. |
| 10 | 4 | BULLISH WIN (CH197) | E Saint-Martin | B-/CP2/TT | Average jump, gradually moved up to be prominent behind leaders, had a smooth run to turn, found little under pressure 350 M out, weakened inside 150 M. |
| 11 | 2 | MELLIFLUOUS (CH212) | B Doyle | CP-/XB/V2/ | Began with them, travelled in a 3-wide position 5Ls back, unable to obtain cover in middle stages, pressed on passing 400 M, struggled to pick up and gave ground from 250 M. |
| 12 | 12 | WINBO (CJ085) | M W Leung | -- | Slightly slow out, unable to cross and was forced wide in the 1st turn, move forward and crossed into lead entering back straight, headed near 300 M and gradually faded towards the line. |
