| 2 | 10 | FUN RIDER (CK231) | K C Leung | B | Positioned 2-wide ahead of midfield in a strongly run race, ran on well turning in, chased winner final 200M but was always held. |
| 3 | 5 | PENGLAI XIANZI (CK248) | M Chadwick | TT | Sped to the front and led at a strong pace, maintained a good gallop turning for home and only lost lead inside 50M. (Jockey questioned.) |

| 6 | 6 | STRAIGHT FORWARD (CL100) | W C Marwing | CP/TT | In midfield along the inside, was pushed along passing 600M, kept on at the same pace and couldn't get near to the leaders. |
| 7 | 12 | ALWAYS SOMETHING (CK288) | W M Lai | -- | Reserved in the rear last just over 10Ls off the good pace, had plenty to do turning for home, made steady progress from the rear but never looked likely. |
| 8 | 4 | HAPPY TUMBLER (CL048) | B Prebble | XB | Forwardly placed just behind leader, looked a threat 300M out, emptied nearing 100M and weakened over the final stages. (Jockey and Trainer questioned re tactics.) |
| 9 | 2 | SEMOS (M125) | T Angland | SR | Taken back, crossed to the rail and settled about 10Ls behind leader, directed to the outside nearing 500M and came widest on straightening, limited progress final 300M. |
| 10 | 3 | ABSOLUTE HEDGE (CL032) | M L Yeung | TT | In 3rd and never far off the leader in a strongly run race, struggled for pace inside 400M, weakened and no extra mid-straight. |
| 11 | 11 | ROYAL PUMPKIN (CJ341) | D Beadman | P | Positioned 2-wide in midfield but found disappointingly little when asked, eased 100M out. |
