Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 1 | STARLIGHT (V273) | Z Purton | -- | Tracked leaders along the inside, travelled strongly to straight, moved up well to lead near 150M, always in control towards the finish completing a hat-trick of wins. |
| 2 | 11 | G-ONE LOVER (T427) | H T Mo | B/TT | Never far off from leaders but no closer than 3-wide throughout the race, gave chase from 300M but couldn't reel in the odds on favourite. Easily accounted for the rest. |
| 3 | 6 | GRACE HEART (S399) | M F Poon | -- | Held up 3-wide in midfield, 4Ls to make up 400M, swung widest leaving the bend, worked home well to claim 3rd just in time but not reached first two. |
| 4 | 5 | INTREPIC (A139) | S Clipperton | B | Reserved in midfield, well covered, worked home steadily without threatening first 2, just missed 3rd in a blanket finish |
| 5 | 3 | SO FAST (S419) | H N Wong | H-/P-/E1/B2 | Led steadily, headed by winner nearing 150M, faded to 5th late stages. |
| 6 | 4 | IRON BOY (V071) | K C Leung | B/TT | In midfield hugging the rail, 3Ls off leader 400M, ran on only fairly and well held by leaders. |
| 7 | 2 | HAIR TRIGGER (A215) | T Berry | B | Taken across from wide barrier, held up last 6-7Ls off the steady pace, made some ground over final 300M without threatening. |
| 8 | 8 | NAVAS (V362) | N Rawiller | B-/XB/V1 | Dropped back after the start, held up 2nd last 5-6Ls back, denied an inside early straight, closed off well switched lane, severely checked near the finish. |
| 9 | 12 | BACK IN BLACK (T358) | D Whyte | TT | Eased back to a rearward spot, in 10th place 4-5Ls back, no clear until 200M, worked home well and could have finished closer. |
| 10 | 9 | MASTER VIKING (S385) | U Rispoli | V/TT | Sent forward from draw 12, tracked leader 0.5L back, couldn't sustain run passing 200M, faded towards the line. |
| 11 | 7 | GOOD COMPANION (A052) | M Chadwick | TT | Jumped well to be chasing leaders passing 1000M, didn't quicken on straightening, outsprinted inside 200M. |
| 12 | 10 | HAPPY HAPPY STAR (A011) | C Y Ho | B1 | From draw 6 ended up in a 3-wide spot without cover, close up to pace making home turn, weakened away 250M. |
