| 1 | 3 | TRULLI (CH327) | O Doleuze | B/TT | Slowest away; about 8Ls off pace on inner at 800m; 7Ls back at last turn and 5Ls adrift at 200m; finished strongly to lead inside final strides. |
| 2 | 8 | CHINA HERO (CH040) | Y T Cheng | B | Away well and soon 2Ls clear on fence; 3Ls up turning for home; looked the winner 200m out but stride shortened and caught late; barely held 2nd. |
| 3 | 5 | KING OF HEARTS (CK214) | D Beadman | XB/H | 4Ls back in 5th down the back; 3-wide no cover on the circle; 4Ls down in 3rd at the 200m; kept plugging away; just missed the quinella. |
| 4 | 1 | BROTHERS IN ARMS (CJ070) | M L Yeung | CP | Soon on the rails on the leader's back; always in front rank and with every chance; 3Ls back in 2nd into the straight; kept battling; nearly placed. |
| 5 | 10 | WELL NOTED (CG313) | J Victoire | B-/PC2/TT | Taken back from wide gate; 10Ls off initially; still well back turning in; finished off pretty well down the centre of the track; never nearer. |
| 6 | 4 | HANDSOME BATCHELOR (CL076) | B Prebble | -- | 3-back the rails around midfield but no better than 5Ls off speed before last bend when appearing to travel well; outpaced in conclusion. |
| 7 | 12 | RARE TREASURE (CH150) | K C Leung | XB/TT | Never any better than midfield; at least 7Ls behind leader through to final bend; retrieved minor late ground. |
| 8 | 6 | WARM EMBRACES (CJ162) | M W Leung | -- | Always a little behind midfield and at least 6Ls off pace before last turn; never troubled the principals. |
| 9 | 2 | HAPPY GO LUCKY (CH127) | J Winks | TT | Worse than midfield throughout; wide no cover the back straight; with cover but hard ridden to try and lie up 700m out; chased to no avail. |
| 10 | 7 | AMBITIOUS OWNER (CJ106) | S K Sit | B/XB/TT | Slow to muster early pace; 9Ls off pace down the back; never really in the hunt. (Blood in trachea.) |
| 11 | 11 | GAUCHO (CE033) | K W Leung | TT | 3-wide no cover the back straight but close enough to pace as usual; 3Ls back in 2nd turning in; didn't find much under pressure. |
