Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 5 | BEST STEP (A150) | Z Purton | TT | Jumped well, pressed forward 3-wide outside early leader. Took over lead passing 700m, kicked 1L clear at the turn, came under pressure when challenged 400m but kept finding to win comfortably. |
| 2 | 2 | FLYING MONKEY (T361) | J Moreira | TT | Broke well, hard ridden to hold fence inside early leader. Moved up around turn to challenge new leader but unable to close gap. |
| 3 | 7 | TRENDIFUL (S185) | O Doleuze | B/TT | Jumped with field, striding forward to settle one-out behind early pace. Swung wide into straight and ran on steadily to grab minor placing. |
| 4 | 4 | BOND ELEGANCE (A007) | C Y Ho | B | Hard ridden early to obtain forward position before finding cover 800m along rail behind midfield. Stayed on fence around turn and ran on steadily in straight. |
| 5 | 12 | EXPONENTS (A031) | H T Mo | B | Jumped OK, raced behind midfield in one-out position. Switched out on straightening and ran home fairly. |
| 6 | 11 | MASSIVE MILLENNIUM (T381) | H N Wong | H/TT | Began awkwardly, losing ground, then steadied and shifted across behind rivals, dropping to last pair in one-out position. Taken to centre field on straightening and ran on fairly. |
| 7 | 9 | LUNAR ZEPHYR (V385) | K C Leung | XB/TT | Allowed to stride forward from widest draw before shifting in 800m and finding rail 4L from leader. Took inside run in straight and boxed on fairly. |
| 8 | 3 | BEAUTY CONNECTION (T415) | K C Ng | CP/TT | Jumped well, ridden to hold rail 2L behind the pace. Looked a chance turning for home but only one-paced in straight. |
| 9 | 6 | EVER STRONG (A275) | H W Lai | -- | Away nicely, ridden to find cover, gradually losing ground until settling near rear in one-out position. Swung wide into straight and kept on fairly though awkwardly placed closing stages. |
| 10 | 1 | FISH N' CHIPS (T099) | M L Yeung | -- | Hard ridden to lead narrowly between two rivals before being passed 700m and taking the sit. Dropped to fourth entering straight and then one-paced. |
| 11 | 8 | THE INVINCIBLE (A191) | B Prebble | -- | Beaten for early pace, dropping behind midfield along rail. Stayed on rail around turn but found nothing in straight when popped the question. |
| 12 | 10 | JIMSON THE FAMOUS (T253) | K Teetan | V/TT | Had head turned when gates opened, losing considerable ground and last on settling. Never in the hunt. |
