| 1 | 12 | VAUGIRARD (CK347) | W Pike | B1 | 4-back the rails around 4Ls off the pace mid-race; going well cornering in; got the breaks and quickened up well to lead 50 M out; readily. |
| 2 | 3 | ELEGANT WIN (CG297) | O Doleuze | B2/TT | 3-back the rails some 3Ls off pace at 800 M and off last bend; 1L down and vying for 3rd at 200 M; no chance winner but nicked 2nd on the line. |
| 3 | 6 | EASY (CG095) | Y T Cheng | -- | Best away but happy to take box-seat on rails in 3rd until final bend when going well; led 250 M out but grabbed by winner 50 M out and lost 2nd on the line. |
| 4 | 9 | NATURAL FLAME (CK016) | B Prebble | B1/TT2 | Switched inside from widest gate; rear or one from rear 5Ls or so from pace before last bend; made up some late ground to nick 4th on line. |
| 5 | 4 | SUPER PLUS (CJ090) | D Whyte | -- | Soon led but couldn't cross to the fence until the 600 M; 1L clear turning for home; headed 250 M out; run of out the frame inside final 100 M. |
| 6 | 10 | FLORAL PICASSO (CJ225) | K L Chui | TT | Better than midfield with cover within 2Ls of the pace before last turn; one-paced to conclude. |
| 7 | 2 | CHARMGOLD (CK002) | M Chadwick | TT | 3-wide no cover early on; 2-wide and 1L back in 2nd at the 500 M; still with every chance of a place 300 M out; tired late on. |
| 8 | 1 | CHATER POWER (CG312) | W C Marwing | B/TT | Over-raced through initial stages when 2Ls back in 4th; about 3Ls off in 8th turning for home; flat inside final 300 M. (Questioned.) |
| 9 | 11 | MALAYAN BRIGHT (CK158) | K C Leung | CP/TT | Rearward about 5Ls or 6Ls from pace before final bend; very one-paced to wind up. |
| 10 | 8 | KINGIFLY (CG020) | H W Lai | TT | Failed to muster much early pace; 4Ls back in 9th at the 800 M; never dangerous down the centre of the home straight. (Tactic questioned.) (Blood in trachea.) |
| 11 | 5 | SOU MA TAM (CH253) | J Victoire | B | 3-wide sometimes without cover throughout; within 2Ls or so of the speed better than mid-div before last turn; yielded ground. |
| 12 | 7 | EIGHT PLUS NINE (CH259) | M L Yeung | B | Trapped 4-wide no cover throughout; within 3Ls of pace in midfield before last turn; extra work took its toll in the home stretch. |
