| 1 | 4 | RENAISSANCE ART (T197) | N Rawiller | H/P | Began well, racing one-off behind pace around first turn. Lost position back stretch, shuffled further back final turn, swung wide then finishing strongly to win close home. |
| 2 | 7 | HAPPILABABY (T315) | O Doleuze | B/TT | Restrained on jumping and shifted in, settling at rear in one-off position. Taken 3-wide back stretch, then 4-wide from 600m to go forward. Hit front 200m, hung in 100m, kept battling. |
| 3 | 9 | HEROIC GURU (S260) | T H So | CP | Quickly into stride but eased to sit 2-back behind the pace first turn. Travelled smoothly to 450m, angled out to make run but shifted back in and finished strongly to miss narrowly. |
| 4 | 6 | STAR MAJESTIC (S093) | D Whyte | B | Jumped with field, shifted in to find cover but held 3-wide in midfield. Kept wide back stretch, bumped entering straight, boxed on gamely down centre track to just miss a place. |
| 5 | 5 | ANTICIPATION (T198) | M Chadwick | B/TT | Jumped with field, restrained, shifted across behind runners and last on settling. Took inside run on straightening and finished well though blocked for run final 100m and not ridden out. |
| 6 | 14 | MCQUEEN (V013) | K C Leung | XB | Quickly into stride, grabbed rail and led narrowly to 1350m when passed and settled in box seat. Rolled forward top of straight to look a chance 200m before swamped final strides. |
| 7 | 8 | ENSURING (S437) | C Y Ho | B | Crowded out start, taken to rail, settling 4-back behind midfield. Blocked on run top of straight, stayed close to rail and finished off nicely. |
| 8 | 2 | BASIC TRILOGY (V133) | J Moreira | B | Began well, bumped and unbalanced approaching first turn before slotting into one-off position behind midfield. Blocked for run 500m, wide into straight, boxed on gamely. |
| 9 | 12 | SUPREME PROFIT (P230) | K K Chiong | B/TT | Ridden early to find cover but held 4-wide passing 1700m and allowed to roll forward to lead 1350m. Set strong pace to 200m when flattened and gave ground gradually. |
| 10 | 3 | AMBITIOUS CHAMPION (S083) | N Callan | SR | Began fairly, checked, dropping towards rear but wide. Kept wide along back stretch, taken wider around final turn, boxed on gamely in straight. |
| 11 | 13 | ISHVARA (S015) | K Teetan | B/TT | Bumped start, pressed forward, chased leader to 1400m before easing out of pace battle, settling 3-back, one-off. Under pressure soon after straightening and boxed on one-paced. |
| 12 | 1 | HARBOUR MASTER (S145) | Z Purton | SR | Restrained, shifted across behind runners to rail, settling towards rear. Caught in traffic early in straight and awkwardly placed closing stages. |
| 13 | 10 | LITTLE DRAGON (S264) | H W Lai | -- | Bumped and shifted out start, pressed forward but very wide, settling 3L behind leader back stretch when left without cover. Covered extra ground turn, boxed on to 200m before tiring. |
| 14 | 11 | LUCKY GIRL (T355) | M L Yeung | -- | Jumped well, rolled forward, sharing pace to back stretch before settling 2.5L back in one-off position. Under pressure turning for home, weakened badly in straight. Unacceptable performance. |
