| 1 | 6 | PALEPALE (M407) | Z Purton | B/TT | Ridden with purpose from a wide gate and parked 1 out 1 back on the circle. Had the race in its keeping 150m out. |
| 2 | 10 | HAPPY GOAL (N213) | K C Leung | V | Ridden along to race outside the leader. Maintained a sound gallop to the wire. |
| 3 | 5 | SLEDGE HAMMER (N405) | J Moreira | P1/TT | Raced keenly back in the field, 1 off with cover. Struck heels near the 800m, ad lost considerable ground when badly checked. Kept finding the line. |
| 4 | 1 | FRESH AIR (CL206) | C K Tong | -- | Got some cover on the circle behind the speed, 2-3 deep. Kept grinding away down the home stretch. |
| 5 | 4 | MISTER MARC (P316) | D Whyte | -- | Ridden handy, got some cover on the circle, 3 deep. Kept on only evenly in the home stretch. |
| 6 | 7 | DIAMOND ANGEL (M212) | W M Lai | H-/V-/P2/TT | Raced wide and at the back of the field with cover. Only plodded to the line. |
| 7 | 3 | GOLD TALENT (S113) | H W Lai | B | Worked forward and crossed to lead on the fence in the early stages. Was overhauled at the 400m and gave in quickly down the running. |
| 8 | 2 | P J HALL (P216) | K Teetan | CP | Began awkwardly then received some inference approaching the first turn while racing on the fence with cover, midfield. Never looked likely thereafter. |
| 9 | 11 | IT CAN ONLY BE YOU (P244) | M L Yeung | V-/P2 | Slow to begin settling with the backmakers on the paint with cover. Copped a check near the 800m, never recovered. |
| 10 | 9 | ALWAYS WONDERFUL (P347) | A Suborics | H- | Had every possible chance after tracking the leader on the fence. Was a spent force well before the furlong. |
| 11 | 8 | NINE DRAGONS (P138) | B Prebble | -- | Was going to take up 1 out 1 back position, but became badly unbalanced after being galloped on near the 800m. Lost significant ground and was never in the hunt finishing distant. |
