| 1 | 8 | DR UNION (CK105) | W M Lai | P/H | Raced within 3Ls of the pace on fence through to home straight. Rallied down the rail and took charge final 150 M. |
| 2 | 10 | GRANDFIELD (CJ250) | K C Leung | B | Drawn high, ended up 2-wide at rear first turn. Took inside run and was 7Ls away home turn. Left the fence to launch attack and responded well final stretch. Snatched 2nd last stride. |
| 3 | 6 | GALLOPY (CK333) | B Prebble | TT | Never far off the pace in a 2-wide position through to home straight. Kept on but lacked the finishing touch of the front pair. |
| 4 | 2 | PLANET (CL029) | Z Purton | B- | Shaken up to lead early. Eased to sit one-off behind pace from 900 M. Challenged leader on straightening and looked dangerous final 250 M. Couldn't sustain effort closing stages. |
| 4 | 4 | MY WAY (CJ203) | C Y Ho | V | Began with others. Raced 2-wide at midfield through to home turn. Ridden out 500 M but was checked rounding home turn. Resumed well late. |
| 6 | 9 | WINNING STRATEGY (CJ353) | Y T Cheng | B2 | Trailed field. Swung widest and was 8Ls back approaching home straight. Covered substantial ground and was nearest at finish. |
| 7 | 11 | DESCARTES (CK293) | J Lloyd | B | Behind pace on fence until home straight. One-paced to conclude. |
| 8 | 7 | MASTER DRAGON (CL137) | M Chadwick | CP-/XB-/B1 | Behind midfield on fence through to home straight. Made up some ground closing stages. |
| 9 | 1 | KING'S CHOICE (CG040) | T H So | -- | Driven forward from high draw but was trapped wide. Eventually took lead at the Rock. Levelled soon after straightening and weakened thereafter. |
| 10 | 5 | GOOD JOB (CL113) | W C Marwing | SR | Midfield on fence through to home turn. Shifted out for clear run entering home straight but failed to progress. |
| 11 | 12 | PRINCE OF LUCK (CK206) | G Cheyne | B | Back with last few always. Never likely. |
| 12 | 3 | ESPERANZA (CG159) | C K Tong | H-/B2/TT | Travelled wide and without cover at midfield early and middle stages. Bumped and became badly unbalanced rounding home turn. Never recovered. |
