Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 6 | SUPER SPECIAL (CE225) | B Prebble | H/TT | Held up along the fence on jumping from the inside barrier, settled in a midfield position 3Ls back and going well into straight, picked up strongly to hit front near 100 M and won going away. A fine effort albeit an ordinary contest. |
| 2 | 11 | MAXIMUM CHARM (CJ056) | D Whyte | B/SR | Well enough away, slotted into a 2-wide position 4Ls off the pace, niggled along on turning, shifted out to obtain clear run near 300 M, ran on ok but had no match for the winner. |
| 3 | 9 | MOUNT SURPLUS (CH122) | H W Lai | -- | Away with them, pressed on early to take closer order just behind leaders, couldn't match the winner's acceleration but stuck to task well for an encouraging 3rd. |
| 4 | 10 | FIRST DEGREE (CH132) | B Doyle | B | Jumped well, showed bags of early speed to move to the front with ease, enjoyed an uncontested lead throughout, kept going in straight but was readily swept aside by the winner near 100 M. Missed out on 3rd close home. |
| 5 | 5 | REDHILL COMMANDER (CH078) | W M Lai | B/TT | Checked shortly after the start and was shuffled back to a rearward position on the fence, moved closer to be 4Ls down on turning, took some time to get going in straight but finished okay towards the end. |
| 6 | 1 | SHINING DRAGON (CC181) | C K Tong | SR/V | Pressed on early for the lead, settled one back off the leader in a handy position along the rail, sent on near 300 M but ran home one-paced and could never quite make up the leeway. |
| 7 | 7 | MASTER OF SHAVERS (CJ026) | M L Yeung | XB | Taken back on jumping, given a waiting ride in the rear trailing 6Ls to leader, made some headway inside 200 M but was overall not threatening. |
| 8 | 3 | PALIO KING (CG073) | G Mosse | -- | Ordinary jump, settled towards the rear as expected, used little in running, shifted out for a clear run near 300 M but responded only fairly. |
| 9 | 2 | TAKE IT EASY (CJ029) | K C Leung | -- | Rushed to a prominent position one out one back, held every chance on straightening but unable to quicken under pressure, gave ground from 100 M. |
| 10 | 12 | ACTUARIAL TALENT (CJ028) | Y T Cheng | V | Ridden along from the start to maintain a position in midfield, unable to cross and was forced wide without cover on turning, found little when asked inside 300 M and was tired towards the line. |
| 11 | 4 | OPTIC KING (CE139) | P H Lo | SR/CP/TT | Attempted to go forward on jumping from the wide barrier but lacked early speed, ended up in a 4-wide position towards the rear, beaten early in the straight as early hard run took toll. |
| 12 | 8 | TELECOM EMPEROR (CH137) | J Winks | B/TT | Allowed to drift back after start, raced in a rearward spot 5-6Ls back, had plenty to do turning in, failed to muster speed when asked and finished off the race disappointingly. |
