Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 7 | OPTIMIZATION STAR (N179) | T H So | B | Settled midfield, on the rails with cover. Shifted out before the home turn, was held up early in the straight, got going late under hard riding. |
| 2 | 12 | FORTUNE TERRITORY (N272) | C Y Ho | B/TT | Was posted deep on the speed in the early stages before drifting back and settling 2-3 wide with cover, midfield. Peeled out turning for home and finished off purpose. |
| 3 | 8 | FANTASY AND GOLD (N326) | A Suborics | B-/H1 | Parked in front of midfield, 2 deep with cover. Hit the lead near the 250m, grudgingly gave way over the final stages. |
| 4 | 2 | NO TIES (N271) | D Whyte | B/TT | Made its run from behind midfield, had cover, 1 off. Closed off willing down the outside. |
| 5 | 9 | FLYING SUPREME (CK226) | H W Lai | B | Camped ahead of midfield, 3 wide with cover. Kept on evenly in the run to the line. |
| 6 | 1 | AFRICA LIGHT (N030) | J Moreira | B/TT | Couldn't go early, settling well back in the field, on the fence with cover. Ran into traffic problems in the straight, finished off reasonably over the last 100m. |
| 7 | 5 | TRIUMPHANT DRAGON (P078) | M L Yeung | B/H | Stalked the leader on the fence. Was badly held up until passing the furlong, finished off soundly after switching out into the clear. |
| 8 | 3 | CONFUCIUS ELITE (N381) | N Callan | SR | Settled 1 out 1 back. Held up early in the straight, never did much once into clear running. |
| 9 | 6 | GORGEOUS LIFE (CK327) | K C Leung | B/XB/TT | Did plenty of work to go forward to travel prominently, 3 deep without cover on the circle. Faded over the concluding stages. |
| 10 | 10 | JUST GOOD (CL133) | G Mosse | H | Travelled in last position on the rails with cover. Never ran on and was one paced over the final stages. |
| 11 | 13 | SPECTACULAR AWARD (CK364) | K C Ng | B | Ridden with plenty of purpose early in the race to assume 2nd position outside the leader. Was a beaten horse after the 200m, and tired easily thereafter. |
| 12 | 4 | DRAGON CHOICE (CL338) | M Chadwick | B/TT | Vigorously ridden in the early stages to take up the lead along the fence after the 900m. Was gassed in the straight. |
| 13 | 11 | CRUISE CONTROL (P198) | Z Purton | B/TT | Positioned 4th from the rear 1 off with cover. Struggled in the home stretch and showed no response in the straight. |
| 14 | 14 | GOAL AND GOLD (N229) | K Teetan | P-/XB1/TT- | Raced at the tail of the field, 2 deep with cover. Failed to close off and finished well back. |
