Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 3 | TERRIFIC BRETHREN (CH298) | M Chadwick | TT | Began well, pressed on to assume usual role in front, had ideal run making all, cruising 1/2L clear on bend, kept finding under riders urging, held off fast finishing rival final 50 M. |
| 2 | 4 | LAMBRO (CH083) | Z Purton | B/TT | Jumped with first few, box seated behind leaders, used little in run, held up some time from turning to 200 M, dashed sharply when clear and unlucky not to take victory. |
| 3 | 8 | BERIO (CJ202) | J Winks | XB | Well enough away, slotted into ideal spot 1 out 1 back, travelled well in mid-section, right there turning, kept giving in straight and held 2nd until shadows of post. |
| 4 | 7 | SOLAR ENERGY (CJ105) | K C Leung | -- | Slow to jump, ended up 4Ls or so away on fence, conserved energy in run, didn't have much room in early part of straight, closed respectably last furlong to make frame despite crowding at 100 M. |
| 5 | 9 | CHARMGOLD (CK002) | B Prebble | -- | Out with rest, ended up 3Ls away on fence, used little in run, hung rounding bend, shifted wide in straight but unable to make required progress and just held ground final furlong. |
| 6 | 6 | FERRO BEAU (CG244) | D Whyte | -- | Fair to begin, assumed a midfield role 3Ls or so off speed, travelled kindly in middle stages, lacked extra gear but kept on soundly late at some speed. |
| 7 | 13 | MY WHISKY (CK071) | M W Leung | -- | First to hit ground, pressed forward to race outside leader, appreciated speed steadying in mid-section, still 1/2L down leaving bend, kept on to 200 M but peaked on run thereafter. |
| 8 | 12 | WISE LOVER (CE095) | H W Lai | B | No early speed, ended up 3 wide in rear division 7Ls or so off lead, fair run in middle stages, shifted wider on turning, made some moderate progress, never likely. |
| 9 | 2 | RICE FIELD (CE134) | W C Marwing | XB/TT | Out with rest, unable to slot in and posted 3 wide without cover in midfield, 4 to 5Ls back on bend, used too much in run and peaked on efforts at 200 M. |
| 10 | 14 | WAIT FOR ME (CE332) | C W Wong | B | Assumed usual position at rear 8Ls back on fence, had fair run but used little to bend, had plenty to do and ridden along turning, made gradual progress along inside in straight to be nearest on line. |
| 11 | 1 | CLASSA (CK267) | T H So | -- | Taken back from a wide gate, ended up 3 wide at rear 8Ls back, set a task and still well down on bend, made some minor ground in straight from impossible spot. |
| 12 | 10 | MERRY WAY (CJ242) | M Du Plessis | -- | Fair to begin, not pushed early and took a spot further back than usual, raced 3 wide with cover 6Ls off speed, ridden along turning and made a little progress before condition gave out. |
| 13 | 5 | BEAUTY EXPRESS (CJ284) | E Saint-Martin | B | Slow out and lost ground, drifted back to race 3 wide at rear 8Ls away, ridden along from bend, no real response and just struggled late. |
| 14 | 11 | DARPANA (CK256) | O Doleuze | B/TT | Awkwardly away, ridden up to sit 6Ls or so away behind midfield in running line, niggled on turn, dropped right out to be beaten a long way. |
