| 1 | 11 | SECRET OF WINNING (CK205) | K C Ng | -- | Maintained the fence and dueled for front running duties throughout for most of the trip. Skipped half a length clear early in the straight and kept finding enough to secure victory. |
| 2 | 3 | CALL ME ACHIEVER (N134) | W C Marwing | B | Vied for leading duties whilst racing 1 off, no cover. Fought on gamely for most of the home straight. |
| 3 | 8 | SPICY SHRIMP (CL067) | C K Tong | H-/B | Ridden vigorously from barrier rise, shifted in to race on the fence in the early stages stalking the leader. Had some traffic problems until the furlong, finished off soundly thereafter. |
| 4 | 5 | MARCO POLO (N366) | T Angland | -- | Made its run from the rear after travelling 2-3 deep with cover. Closed off strongly. |
| 5 | 4 | CHINA GOOD (CL258) | H W Lai | SR | Travelled 3 back the paint. Stayed to the inside in the final stretch and worked home fairly but peaked on its effort 100m out. |
| 6 | 12 | KINGSTON ELITE (CL274) | W M Lai | -- | Settled in last position 2-3 off with cover. Commenced to improve along the rail after the 450m, and in the straight finished off soundly. |
| 7 | 7 | PILLOWIN (CL357) | M Chadwick | B/TT | Slow to begin settling close to midfield, 1 off with cover. Kept on one paced in the run to the line. |
| 8 | 1 | MR AWARD (M065) | T H So | TT | Travelled midfield, 3 deep with cover. Straightened up widest but only plugged away in the home stretch. |
| 9 | 9 | GLORY WIN (N051) | C Y Ho | B/TT | Posted 3 deep without cover for most of the trip, whist racing on the speed. Never likely. |
| 10 | 2 | TOMODACHI (M026) | K C Leung | H/XB | Trapped a little wide early, but managed to park 1 out 1 back after the 600m. Got racing keenly near the 500m, swung the home turn widest & faded in the final stretch. |
| 11 | 10 | HAPPY KAISER (N130) | Y T Cheng | -- | Settled with the backmakers, 3 deep with cover. Made no impression in the home straight. |
| 12 | 6 | HANNIBAL BARCA (M367) | T Clark | -- | Jumped well then was allowed to drift back to race towards the rear, 3 deep with cover. Failed to close off. |
