Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 7 | NEWSWIRE TOO (CJ040) | B Prebble | B | 3-back the fence 4Ls off in 6th leaving back straight and same turning in, found a gap inside final 200 M and overhauled SUPER RED on the line. (Questioned for improved performance.) |
| 2 | 12 | SUPER RED (CG230) | M Chadwick | CP/XB/TT | Went forward as usual, 1L back in 2nd out 2-wide from 800 M to final turn, led inside the final furlong but denied victory in final stride. |
| 3 | 11 | NOBLE ZOOM (CC298) | M L Yeung | V | Pressed forward but 3-wide no cover and 2Ls back in 4th from 900 M to entering home straight, did well to hang onto a place in the straight. |
| 4 | 1 | GRAND GENERAL (CJ113) | P H Lo | CP | 2-wide and about 5Ls back in 7th until home straight, 2Ls back in 4th and with place prospects at least at the 200 M, couldn't sustain the run. |
| 5 | 4 | PERFECT ATHLETE (CG276) | C W Wong | -- | Led by 1L at the 900 M, same margin clear turning for home but headed just inside the furlong pole and one-paced to wind up. |
| 6 | 8 | FAST WINNER (CG140) | M Du Plessis | BO | Didn't break well and checked in rear 7Ls off pace at the 900 M, 5Ls adrift turning for home, never likely to make a telling impact. |
| 7 | 3 | NIGHT HUNTER III (CH102) | B Doyle | CP | Checked at the 900 M when worse than midfield, shuffled back to 6Ls last entering last 400 M, one-paced thereafter. |
| 8 | 5 | FASTER FASTER (CG010) | J Lloyd | CP | Slowest away as usual, 6Ls back in 9th initially, marginally closer turning for home but never any better than midfield. |
| 9 | 6 | DIAMOND FLYER (CG199) | O Doleuze | TT | Worse than midfield about 6Ls off pace on the rails through the first two-thirds of the race, unbalanced 200 M out, always held. |
| 10 | 2 | KING'S CHOICE (CG040) | H W Lai | -- | With cover and better than midfield 3Ls from the speed until the home turn, steadily retreated. |
| 11 | 9 | ALIVE AND KICKING (CJ071) | W M Lai | B | Crossed from wide gate to box-seat on leader's back through to the final two furlongs, found nothing off the bit, no excuses. |
