Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 6 | UNLEASHED DRAGON (V205) | C Schofield | B1 | Pace widest to vie for lead, settled 2nd 1 off, niggled to close 500m, driven into stretch, grinding effort to nick lead at line. |
| 2 | 2 | SUPREME FLIGHT (M199) | K K Chiong | B/TT | Vied for lead, snared lead 980m & set tempo, strode 1.5L clear on turn, driven into stretch, battling all out when headed 120m, rallied, just failed. |
| 3 | 4 | I'M A WITNESS (T405) | C Y Ho | -- | Pace to lead, soon headed & raced 1 back on rail, niggled along, switched 3 deep 550m, driven 400m, grinding run to lead 120m, no extra & edged out final strides. |
| 4 | 1 | FAIRY TWINS (V222) | J Moreira | -- | Broke well, raced 5th 1 off with cover, shuffled back on turn, checked off heels 700m & niggled, ridden into stretch, kept on without threatening. |
| 5 | 9 | HOT HOT PEPPER (V026) | N Callan | -- | Taken back to 3 wide with cover near rear, niggled 800m, driven 500m, lacked toe but stayed on gradually to make eye-catching late gains. |
| 6 | 3 | SUPERIOR BOY (V102) | N Rawiller | B1/TT | Settled 1 back 1 off, niggled under pressure & 4 wide no cover 550m, close 4th & hard-ridden 350m, every chance, tapered closing stages. |
| 7 | 12 | CONSISTENT (T045) | M L Yeung | H | Broke ok & settled midfield on rail, driven 430m, boxed on at a consistent pace. |
| 8 | 10 | REWARDING FLYER (T401) | Z Purton | B | Settled back near rear 1 off, niggled 750m, ridden into stretch, tight for room 350m, checked 280m & switched out, kept on moderately thereafter. |
| 9 | 7 | VICTOR EMPEROR (S425) | D Whyte | B/TT | Awkward start & bumped, restrained to midfield 3 wide no cover, gained cover 700m, driven into stretch, plugged on tamely. |
| 10 | 11 | G-ONE LOVER (T427) | G Lerena | B1 | Broke with others, initially taken back but trapped 4 wide no cover, rolled to share 4th turning in, driven 400m, found nil & weakened. |
| 11 | 5 | PEARL HARBOUR (V096) | T H So | H1/TT1 | Slow start & urged to race last pair on rail, driven under pressure final turn, outpaced in tepid run home. |
| 12 | 8 | GENTLEMEN (V060) | K C Leung | TT | Taken back to last pair 1 off, niggled 550m, hard-ridden turning in, outpaced & never a factor. |
