Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 8 | ROMANTIC CITY (CL023) | T H So | -- | Sent forward as expected, travelled well in the lead, kicked nicely clear early straight, maintained momentum to the line, never in danger. |
| 2 | 11 | BUNDLE OF LOVE (N324) | D Whyte | P | Held up midfield along the inside, ran on reasonably well final 300M but never looked like reeling in the winner. |
| 3 | 1 | CHARITY SPIRIT (M095) | T Angland | TT | Slightly slow away, turned 3-wide 500M and soon bustled along, kept on steadily over final 300M. |
| 4 | 10 | HAWTHORNE (CL136) | C W Wong | -- | Up with early pace, held back slightly to race in 4th turning for home, stayed on but lacked pace to seriously challenge. |
| 5 | 9 | SIR EAGLES (M403) | U Rispoli | B | Held up towards the rear, made steady progress final 200M and was gaining on the principals nearing the finish. |
| 6 | 5 | WINDICATOR POWER (CL424) | C Y Ho | TT | Began awkwardly, raced in midfield about 6Ls off the pace, stayed on mildly. |
| 7 | 7 | AMEDEO (CK292) | M L Yeung | V-/TT | Chased leading pair but couldn't find extra to challenge inside 300M, weakened final 100M. |
| 8 | 2 | CHOICE TREASURE (N436) | Z Purton | TT | Dropped back to near last, had plenty to do turning in, headway inside 300M but was held up over final 150M, not properly tested. |
| 9 | 6 | GROOVY (CL401) | G Mosse | -- | Caught racing wide without cover in midfield, ran on one-paced final 300M over this unproven trip. |
| 10 | 12 | SUPER GOAL ELITE (N420) | H W Lai | TT | Driven forward to race outside leader, drifted out rounding the turn, weakened and no extra final 200M. |
| 11 | 3 | FUJIAN SPIRIT (N397) | K C Ng | H1 | Restrained from a wide gate to settle well back, 10Ls down turning for home, made no real progress. |
| 12 | 4 | SUPER PLUS (CJ090) | K C Leung | -- | Raced in midfield along the 3-path, under serious pressure turning for home, soon beaten, eased mid-straight. (Jockey said his horse never travelled at any stage.) |
