| 1 | 6 | FAT CHOY ICHIBAN (CJ063) | Y T Cheng | TT | Given a patient ride towards the rear and was miles off the pace in middle stages, waited with till 450M, stayed on strongly inside 250M and got up in closing strides. |
| 2 | 4 | KING DANCER (CK129) | O Doleuze | CP-/SR2 | Towards the rear about 10Ls back in first half, shifted out 550M to improve but was forced very wide nearing the entrance of straight, quickened well down the outside, led inside 200M but couldn't fend off the winner in late stages. |
| 3 | 10 | GALLANT CHAMPION (CJ002) | M Chadwick | TT | Behind mid-division early, strode forward from 1400M to race just off leader, ran well despite being 19 lb out of handicap and rallied on to claim 3rd in closing stages. |
| 4 | 5 | IRIAN (CL187) | W M Lai | B-/H | Positioned 2-wide in chasing group, shifted out to challenge passing 500M, took over from 350M-200M but couldn't sustain effort in late stages. |
| 5 | 7 | VIGOR DELIGHT (CK070) | J Lloyd | P/H | Held up towards the rear, way off the pace in first half but crept closer making the home turn, responded well in early straight but turned flat passing 150M. |
| 6 | 2 | UNIQUE JEWELLERY (CH196) | B Prebble | -- | Not helped by the slow sectionals and raced keenly behind mid-division, shifted out to improve 600M, briefly looked a chance in early straight but run ended passing 200M. |
| 7 | 3 | JAMESINA (CH290) | W C Marwing | CP/TT | Along the fence in midfield before switching 2-wide entering the back straight, pushed wider over the home turn, stayed on same pace final 400M and was never likely. |
| 8 | 9 | STRAIGHT FORWARD (CL100) | M Du Plessis | TT | Taken forward to sit in group chasing the pace, shuffled back to midfield after halfway, not quickened on straightening and could keep on one paced only. |
| 9 | 1 | MR MEDICI (CK218) | K C Leung | -- | Placed 2-wide in 6th, not suited by the slow tempo and raced keenly at times, shifted out 600M to improve 4-wide, had no excuses in straight but found less than expected, outpaced 250M then eased. |
| 10 | 8 | INTERCHINA STAR (CJ226) | M L Yeung | TT | Tracked leader and saved ground on the inside throughout, held up by a beaten runner early straight but didn't find much when clear. |
| 11 | 11 | BILLION (CH316) | C K Tong | -- | Set slow tempo early, went quicker down the back straight and opened up a 5Ls lead at halfway, restrained near home turn, headed inside 400M and found nothing left in reserves, eased. |
