| 1 | 8 | EL MORRO (CK344) | J Winks | B1/H1 | Driven early, crossed to the rail and settled prominently behind leader, poised to strike turning in, pressed on inside 300 M and showed instant acceleration to draw away from the field. Impressive debut. |
| 2 | 11 | AMNESTY (CK051) | W M Lai | B/XB/TT | Fast away, rolled along the fence in a midfield position 3Ls behind leader, picked up strongly from 300 M but no chance with the impressive winner. |
| 3 | 2 | GOOD GAINS (CJ293) | O Doleuze | -- | Away in line, assumed a 3-wide spot in the chasing group, picked up well passing 400 M, kept on without troubling the winner. |
| 4 | 1 | GREAT HEART (CK219) | M Chadwick | CP-/B1/TT | Held up towards the rear and had 5Ls to make up on straightening, picked up strongly inside 300 M to finish nearest at the line. |

| 6 | 5 | GILDED FLIGHT (CH294) | C K Tong | B | Gradually crossed from out wide and showed early pace to lead, ran too free and had to be restrained approaching the turn, headed near 250 M and weakened quickly. |
| 7 | 14 | SUNSHINE BOY (CJ281) | G Cheyne | H | Well enough away, dropped back to mid-division towards the rail, driven out from 400 M but made very limited progress. Never dangerous. |
| 8 | 12 | TYCOON TAYLOR (CH288) | Y T Cheng | B | Rushed to a forward spot after a slow start, 3-wide without cover throughout, remained same pace on straightening and could find no extra close home. |
| 9 | 4 | APPRECIATION (CK161) | B Prebble | V/TT | Quickly into stride, eased back to midfield, had a smooth run to bend but had trouble finding room inside 400 M and didn't have a clear crack in the run to the line. |
| 10 | 3 | THE WITCH'S BROOM (CH231) | M W Leung | B | In rearward always, last coming into straight, took time to muster and didn't get going too until 200 M, stayed on well towards the finish. |
| 11 | 13 | DARPANA (CK256) | W Pike | B/TT | Raced 3-wide towards the rear, hard driven inside 400 M but not enough pace to challenge. |
| 12 | 7 | AMBITIOUS OWNER (CJ106) | J Lloyd | B/XB/TT | Began badly and lost ground, towards the rear, no pace to challenge passing 400 M, checked 50 M from home. (Jockey questioned.) |
