Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 1 | STRONG FOUNDATION (P428) | J Moreira | B | Away nicely, not pushed, crossing to fence 4-back from leader. Turned in behind horses, switched in to get run, powered home to win comfortably. |
| 2 | 6 | LUCKY HAMMER (P417) | K C Ng | TT | Hard ridden 4-wide from outside draw before settling outside hind-quarters of leader 1100m. Joined leader top of straight, battled on gamely. |
| 3 | 2 | BULLISH SMART (S221) | K C Leung | B/TT | Used early to lead, racing wide before crossing to fence 1200m. Joined by another top straight but boxed on strongly till swamped final 100m. |
| 4 | 10 | GO GO WIN (S073) | H W Lai | CP | Ridden along between horses to share early pace before settling three-back, one-off back stretch. Kept on steadily in straight without threatening place-getters. |
| 5 | 11 | FUNNY BUDDIES (T300) | Y T Cheng | H | Ridden to hold forward position, settling one-back, one-off back stretch, put under pressure turning for home but only one-paced under vigorous riding. |
| 6 | 5 | ROYAL PARTNER (N394) | C K Tong | V/TT | Shifted across behind runners from a wide draw, settling at rear. Improved back stretch, taken wide in straight and ran on steadily. Rider fined for not riding out to the finish. |
| 7 | 3 | NORTHERN FALLS (T354) | D Whyte | B | Urged forward with pacemakers before taking box seat back stretch. A little flat when leaders sprinted top of straight but kept on gamely. Had minor graze left front cannon. |
| 8 | 7 | TRIUMPHANT DRAGON (P078) | C Y Ho | B | Bumped start, then raced keenly and bumped again 950m. Taken wide in straight and boxed on fairly. |
| 9 | 4 | COLOSSUS (T170) | U Rispoli | H/TT | Began well, kicked up inside leading pack to hold rail before easing three-back along back stretch. Under pressure after straightening and faded. |
| 10 | 12 | SUPER MAN (T213) | H N Wong | H/TT | Bumped and unbalanced start, ridden along then bumped again 950m and left without cover behind midfield. Faded gradually in straight. |
| 11 | 9 | CHARITY PLENTY (T287) | M L Yeung | B-/CP1 | Outpaced and soon a distant last. Trailed field to straight and never competitive. |
| 12 | 8 | MEDIC KINGDOM (N238) | K Teetan | H/PC/XB | Began awkwardly and lost ground at start, dropping to rear along rail. Never likely. |
