Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 1 | PERPETUAL TREASURE (S191) | M F Poon | TT | Caught wide no cover from draw 12, improved to the lead entering home turn but still wide, continued on well in straight under 10lb claimer and built up enough of a margin to hold off the fast finishing 2nd. |
| 2 | 7 | ARIZONA BLIZZARD (V264) | M L Yeung | H/TT | Given a waiting ride at the rear, 8Ls off the good pace entering the turn, found clear passage nearing 200M hit the line hard to finish just 0.5L behind winner. |
| 3 | 5 | HARBOUR ALERT (T254) | N Callan | CP1 | Tracked the leading trio in a strongly run race, had every chance turning in but lacked the winning dash, well held by leader in the run home. |
| 4 | 9 | ELITE SPIRIT (S200) | C Murray | B2/TT | Chased the pace in 5th, 3Ls to make up 400M, fought on steadily on the inside but couldn't sprint enough to be closer. |
| 5 | 12 | AMAZING RACE (V350) | C Y Ho | -- | Not hurried early stages, dropped back to a position behind midfield, 6-7Ls off the good pace at 400M, ran on mildly to line, no serious threat. |
| 6 | 6 | KING MORTAR (A097) | H T Mo | B | Began fairly, hard driven to the fore under 10lb claimer, taken on by rivals passing 700M, continued the chase on leader until weakening over final 150M. |
| 7 | 11 | SUNNY DRAGON (V412) | J Moreira | H/TT | Held up in midfield 5Ls off leader in a strongly run race, kept on one pace over final 300M and not gaining on leaders. |
| 8 | 10 | PAKISTAN BABY (S442) | U Rispoli | CP/TT | Taken back to the rear 7-8Ls off the good pace, driven along 550M, stayed on only fairly, no threat to leaders. (Jockey : his mount appeared reluctant to stretch out whilst resenting the kickback.) |
| 9 | 2 | BORNTOACHIEVE (T313) | H N Wong | P/XB | Outpaced by leaders despite driven along, fell back to a midfield position middle stages, remained one pace turning home and outsprinted by rivals passing 250M. |
| 10 | 3 | E-SUPER (T010) | Z Purton | -- | Prominently ridden, chased leader along the 2-path, pace strong, weakened noticeably passing 300M. |
| 11 | 8 | OPEN HOUSE (A197) | T H So | -- | Had trouble keeping up with rivals in a strongly run race, last of 12 making the home turn, 12Ls off leader at 400M, made no real progress in straight, never in the picture. |
| 12 | 4 | MARQULA (V423) | O Doleuze | P1/TT1 | Began awkwardly, towards the rear, never travelled, unbalanced 500M when reluctant to maintain its position, well beaten top of straight and finished tailed out on debut. (Unacceptable Performance.) |
