| 1 | 4 | WATCH FIRST (CL160) | B Prebble | B | Began well. Slotted 2-wide ahead of midfield from 1400M. Well positioned to strike in the straight. Hit front 200M. Kept on strongly to score victory with some comfort. |
| 2 | 7 | DANESOUTH (CL001) | W C Marwing | B-/P1/H/TT | On fence behind pace to home straight. Saw daylight 300M. Finished off well to figure in quinella but no hope with the winner. |
| 3 | 6 | KIMBERLEY (CJ295) | C Y Ho | CP/TT | Urged early. Settled 3-wide slightly ahead of midfield from 1300M. 4Ls down on straightening. Rallied on but lacked the kick of the front pair. Beat the rest by a comfortable margin. |
| 4 | 10 | GREEN GLORY (CJ177) | Z Purton | B/TT | 2-wide towards rear to home turn. Peeled out and was 6Ls off into final stretch. Covered decent ground late to make frame at line. |
| 5 | 14 | WESTERN STAR (CK299) | M Chadwick | -- | Travelled along the fence in mid-division to home straight. Plugged on and nearly made frame without troubling the front trio. |
| 6 | 11 | GLITTERING (CJ343) | K C Leung | XB | Out nicely. Gradually rolled to the fence and led from 1200M. Held a 1L advantage turning in. Hung on until overhauled by the front trio inside final furlong. Lost 4th at post. |
| 7 | 5 | NOT QUITE PERFECT (CG254) | M L Yeung | B/TT | Away in line but trapped wide. Progressed gradually to one-off behind speed from 1100M. Attempted to challenge the leader passing 400M but remained one-paced. Weakened close home. |
| 8 | 1 | DIVINE KID (CK157) | O Doleuze | B | 3-wide behind midfield to home straight. No real progress thereafter. |
| 9 | 8 | KUNG HEI FAT CHOI (CL157) | Y T Cheng | B/H | Soon taken to rear from wide barrier. Improved to race behind midfield on fence from 1200M. Couldn’t turn up a notch in the straight. |
| 10 | 3 | FUN AND FAST (CL177) | T H So | B | Travelled wide and without cover behind midfield early. Strode forward and parked 3-wide behind pace from 1200M. Failed to sustain top of home straight and faded final furlong. |
| 11 | 12 | OSCAR PRINCE (CJ052) | C Williams | -- | 2-wide towards rear to home turn. Swung out and was hard ridden turning into home. Beat tired runners home. |
| 12 | 13 | LIVERBIRD (CE055) | G Cheyne | B | 2-wide at midfield to home turn. Pressed to maintain position from 700M. Very little impression in the straight. |
| 13 | 2 | WAIT FOR ME (CE332) | D Whyte | TT | 3-wide towards rear to the bend. Swung widest rounding home turn. Quickened satisfactorily early home straight but dropped out noticeably after 200M. |
| 14 | 9 | SAMMY'S FORTUNE (CH204) | W M Lai | B/TT | Always at rear. Never in the hunt. |
