| 1 | 3 | TRAVEL GUIDE (CK101) | K C Leung | B/H | Niggled early. Took a handy position behind leader from first turn. Well-positioned to strike in the straight. Battled determinedly to the line and prevailed at post. |
| 2 | 6 | NEW LEADER (CK242) | D Whyte | B | Raced 2-wide at midfield early. Found the fence passing 1100M. Peeled out and was 3Ls down turning into home. Fought gamely with the eventual winner inside 300M. Just failed. |
| 3 | 7 | MY WAY (CJ203) | C Y Ho | B- | Taken to 2-wide at rear after start from highest draw. Stayed near the fence and was last turning in. Rallied on down the centre of the home straight and was nearest at finish. |
| 4 | 12 | ZEZAO (CK180) | Y T Cheng | -- | Driven early and led solo on fence from first turn. Shared lead home turn. Hung on well top of home straight but couldn't sustain effort closing stages. |
| 5 | 8 | BEST NOODLE (CJ278) | M Chadwick | TT | Urged early and cut to the fence behind midfield from first turn. Made steady headway when asked home turn. One-paced to conclude. |
| 6 | 1 | HAPPY MASTER (CE050) | B Prebble | CP | Ridden early and settled on fence ahead of midfield first turn. Shifted 2-wide 1100M. Made run and reached outside the leader passing the Rock. Kept giving early home straight but no extra passing 150M. |
| 7 | 9 | AMAZING FORTUNE (CH235) | H W Lai | B | Well enough away but trapped wide. Slotted 2-wide towards rear from first turn. Pressed and swung wide for clear run passing 400M. Made decent headway thereafter. |
| 8 | 10 | MOUNT VICTORY (CL033) | J Lloyd | B1 | Fair break. Caught 3-wide at midfield early. Tucked 2-wide behind midfield 1200M. Same position rounding home turn and made up minor ground late. |
| 9 | 11 | AMAZING VENTURE (CJ039) | W M Lai | TT1 | Towards rear on fence to home straight. Never really picked up. |
| 10 | 4 | SOMETHING SPECIAL (CJ014) | G Cheyne | B | Back with last few always. Beat tired runners home. |
| 11 | 5 | CLASSIC ENERGY (CJ143) | Z Purton | H | Trapped wide and without cover at midfield early. Switched 2-wide from top of back straight. Hard ridden home turn but failed to improve. Well beaten soon after straightening. |
| 12 | 2 | MR SPEEDY (M183) | C K Tong | -- | Shaken up to occupy a forward spot but trapped 3-wide first turn. Eased to one-off behind leader 1200M. Dropped out gradually from the Rock and struggled home turn. Weakened badly in the straight. |
