Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 11 | CLEVER BEAVER (S352) | M Chadwick | TT | Driven forward from a wide barrier, settled outside the leader, quickened to lead 300M out, dug in gamely final stages to keep rivals at bay. |
| 2 | 7 | DA VINCI (S360) | O Doleuze | -- | Began well, settled behind leaders in 4th, chased eventual winner from 300M, always held. |
| 3 | 1 | GOLDEN DEER (P121) | Z Purton | B | Held up towards the rear, 6Ls behind leaders and taken out 500M, gained ground steadily and narrowly missed out on 2nd place. |
| 4 | 12 | JOYFUL THE GREAT (N407) | M L Yeung | CP | Led early stages, stalked the pace passing 1000M, held up behind the weakening leader until 250M, ran on evenly when clear but was always held by winner. |

| 8 | 8 | LUCKY HAMMER (P417) | Y T Cheng | TT | Reserved in midfield 5-6Ls behind leaders, checked at 350M, failed to respond appreciably over this shorter trip, never a threat to leaders. |
| 9 | 2 | PHOTON WILLIE (S199) | K C Leung | H/TT | In mid-division, proved difficult to settle for a considerable distance near 900M, gave limited response when driven, never got near leaders. |
