| 1 | 3 | WINDICATOR RETURNS (CJ191) | K W Leung | -- | Sent forward to lead on the rails, setting a good clip. Pinched a break after the 500 M, and was able to maintain its advantage all the way down the running. |
| 2 | 2 | MY TIME (CJ310) | B Prebble | -- | Enjoyed the run of the race, tracking the leader along the paint. Switched out to challenge after the 300 M, ranged up and looked the likely winner but was unable to claw back the margin. |
| 3 | 6 | STAR LEGEND (CJ233) | W C Marwing | H | Parked 3 back the fence. Pushed along after the 500 M to improve, stayed on soundly. |
| 4 | 12 | KING CREOLE (CG287) | W M Lai | TT | Camped 1 off close to midfield with cover. Cornered 3-wide, and after being steadied early in the home straight, maintained an even gallop to finish in the frame. |

| 7 | 1 | MAGIC TEMPLE (CC368) | S K Sit | PC-/B2 | Lacked early speed as usual and settled 7 to 8Ls off the speed on rails, swung widest for home, made little ground when asked for effort final 300 M. |
| 8 | 4 | VALUE CHOICE (CG213) | D Whyte | B | Slow to begin, settling at the rear of the field, 1 off with cover. Switched to the inside early in the run home and worked to the post fairly. |
| 9 | 8 | BATURO (CH029) | M W Leung | B2 | Urged along to hold a one-off spot about 3Ls behind the leader, held ground until outpaced passing 200 M, soon faded. |
| 10 | 5 | NOT QUITE PERFECT (CG254) | M L Yeung | B/TT | From the outside barrier was taken back to a position at the tail of the field, along the rail. Failed to run on in the final stretch. (See Racing Incidents.) |
| 11 | 10 | BLINK AGAIN (CK011) | C K Tong | V/XB2 | Urged along early but failed to muster speed, ended up travelling 9Ls off the pace, struggled throughout the trip, failed to make up any ground in the home straight. |
