| 1 | 5 | GOLDEN BALL (CH128) | O Doleuze | B | Raced midfield on the rail early, then turning into the back straight rolled out to travel 2 wide with cover. Worked into the clear after the 300m and snatched victory close to the wire. |
| 2 | 1 | FANTASTIC DANCER (CJ001) | G Mosse | V-/PC2/TT | Settled 2 wide with cover early then was posted 4 wide without cover, behind midfield near the 1000m. Crept forward passing the 600m, hit the front at the 200m, but was collared close to the post. (See Racing Incidents.) |
| 3 | 13 | GALAXEE (CJ182) | S K Sit | CP | Travelled behind midfield the fence. took some time to wind up in the straight running on nicely. |
| 4 | 6 | OLYMPICSHIP (CJ283) | D Beadman | B2/TT | Raced midfield, 1 off with cover then was shuffled out after the 1200m, settling 3 wide with cover. Came wide rounding the home turn and stayed on soundly. |
| 5 | 2 | WIN MORE (CH243) | Z Purton | B-/H-/PC2/TT | Travelled handy to the leaders, 2 deep with cover. Experienced traffic problems in the straight, ran to the line adequately. |
| 6 | 14 | SPICY FRUITY (CJ220) | Y T Cheng | B | Missed the start then speared forward to lead by the 1300m but coursing wide. Crossed to the fence near the 1000m. Did plenty of work early and was gassed inside the final 100m. |
| 7 | 10 | FUJIAN PRINCE (CE006) | G Cheyne | XB/TT | Slow to begin settling towards the rear 2-3 wide with cover. Made some ground early in the run home before peaking well short of the line. |
| 8 | 7 | BEST NOODLE (CJ278) | M Chadwick | TT | Didn't muster a lot of early pace from a wide gate and settled behind midfield, 4 wide with cover. Passed only tiring horses in the straight down the outside. |
| 9 | 12 | ROCKALOT (CH163) | C K Tong | B/TT | Caught 3 - 4 wide early before working forward & shifting in to race 3 wide without cover from about the 1000m, just behind the speed. Struggled over the final furlong. |
| 10 | 9 | BULB TREASURE (CH048) | W M Lai | -- | Raced outside the leader, no cover. Had every chance. |
| 11 | 11 | GRAND GENERAL (CJ113) | M W Leung | CP | Lifted its front feet off the ground at the start and was slow to begin, settling with the backmarkers 1 off with cover. Never quickened in the final stretch. |
| 12 | 4 | CARE FREE MIDAS (CH053) | M L Yeung | B | Travelled 3 back the fence. took inside runs in the straight and got to the line fairly after being held up approaching the 200 M. |
| 13 | 8 | SEXY BABY (CK328) | T H So | B/TT | Began very awkwardly, got its head up on a number of occasions and as a consequence lost ground, settling at the tail of the field. Not likely. |
| 14 | 3 | ALICE TOO (CG309) | H W Lai | B/XB/TT | Led early before box seating near the 1000m. Gave ground quickly in the run home, finishing well back. |
