Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 12 | WHITE JADE (CK131) | Y T Cheng | XB/CP1/H | Handily placed behind the leader, travelled strongly into straight, powered clear inside 250M to win this a shade cosily. |
| 2 | 6 | FLEET COMMAND (CK077) | J Lloyd | B | Held up in midfield, driven inside 400M, stayed on well final 200m to beat all but the winner. |
| 3 | 13 | GALEN WIN (CJ065) | M L Yeung | CP | Placed ahead of midfield and held inside running, picked up well inside 200M but not able to match the pace of the winner. |
| 4 | 2 | SUNNY KING (CH105) | D Beadman | XB/H/TT | Very awkwardly away, over 7Ls behind in last few, made good headway from 400M but offered little threat to the winner. |
| 5 | 11 | TERRIFIC BRETHREN (CH298) | M Chadwick | TT | Assumed a forward position as expected, raced one out one back and loomed up as the main threat coming off the bend, found less than expected and stayed on same pace final 300M. |
| 6 | 9 | ROMPING (CK038) | O Doleuze | B | Had an uncontested lead but lacked the pace to contain the principals when challenged inside 200M, weakened over the concluding stages. |
| 7 | 10 | HORACE'S CHOICE (CH169) | C K Tong | B/H/TT | Crossed to a 2-wide position in midfield, shifted out and ridden inside 400M, made steady progress but not reach the leaders. |
| 8 | 7 | KINGS FALCON (CJ185) | W C Marwing | XB/H | Ordinary jump, clipped heels near 1200M and ended up in last, steadied 350M, ran on well down the inside but was short of room 150M out. (Jockey questioned.) |
| 9 | 4 | GALLANT LION (CG243) | Z Purton | V-/H | Along the fence in midfield about 5Ls back, moved well into straight, switched out to challenge in straight but could make limited progress only. |
| 10 | 5 | NOBLE CONQUEROR (CG169) | J Winks | P-/B2 | On the rails towards the rear, 6Ls to make up passing 400M, no progress under pressure, never likely. |
| 11 | 8 | DREAM TEAM (CK076) | B Prebble | TT | Bustled along to go forward, settled in 4th 2-3Ls back, under pressure 450M out, plodded on till weakening inside 200 M. |
| 12 | 3 | SPECIAL DAYS (CH236) | D Whyte | -- | Began awkwardly and lost ground, ended up racing in last pair over 8Ls off the pace, driven 450M but no progress. Never a factor. |
| 13 | 1 | EXPRESS WIN (CJ042) | G Mosse | TT | Dropped back, caught wide without cover behind midfield, not picked up in straight, eased final 200M. |
