| 1 | 4 | CHAPARRAL STAR (A220) | K Teetan | XB1 | Commenced well before positioning midfield on fence. Had soft run throughout middle stages before coming off heals at 325m to go on in straight. |
| 2 | 7 | SPORTS MASTER (A311) | Z Purton | B/E | Commenced awkwardly and slow away before making up ground to position at rear on the inside. Turned into straight well back before improving through the field to just miss. |
| 3 | 12 | EXPONENTS (A031) | U Rispoli | V | Began well before ridden up to contest lead before easing behind eventual leader at 1000m. Eased across heals upon entering the straight before battling away in the straight. |
| 4 | 5 | SUPERIOR BOY (V102) | H N Wong | PC/TT | Commenced fairly before ridden up to gain forward position. Outside leader in middle stages before running fairly in straight. |
| 5 | 10 | ROCHFORD (A208) | W M Lai | V | Ridden hard from outside barrier to assume lead from the 1100m. Turned in front before weakening in the later stages of the straight. |
| 6 | 9 | GOLDEN CANNON (T022) | C Y Ho | B/H/XB | Began moderately before being eased in first 100m to position at the rear off the fence. Commenced to improve from the 650m, entering straight second widest runner. Never a winning threat. |
| 7 | 1 | SINCERE HORSE (A386) | C Schofield | P- | Moderately away before easing back to position worse than midfield on fence. Had soft run in transit and offered little in the straight. |
| 8 | 14 | FAIR COMMENT (A014) | M Chadwick | B- | Began fairly before being eased in first 200m to position worse than midfield off the fence. Was shuffled back on entering the straight and was never a genuine winning threat. |
| 9 | 6 | DUTCH WINDMILL (T288) | C Wong | B2/TT | Commenced well before electing not to contest lead, positioning midfield off the fence. Pulled around heals at 550m to commence run but yielded ground around the bend and in the straight. |
| 10 | 13 | VICTOR EMPEROR (S425) | M F Poon | B-/TT | Commenced well but was eased from wide barrier to position near the rear three horses off the fence. Improved from the 700m but was impeded at the 650m and again at the 425m. Too far back in straight to threaten. |
| 11 | 8 | LUCKY STORM (B124) | H T Mo | B/TT | Wasn't the fastest away and was then eased back across heals to the rear of the field. Attempted to improve from 650m before being pushed extremely wide on straightening before failing to flatter in straight. |
| 12 | 2 | SURE SUPREME (B233) | A Sanna | B1 | Began only moderately before ridden up for 400m to position midfield off the fence. Had clear running on straightening but failed to respond and gave ground in straight. |
| 13 | 3 | LAUGH OUT LOUD (P297) | K C Leung | B | Began only moderately before improving first 250m to position off the fence behind leading quartet. Was slightly crowded approaching 1000m before being asked for effort upon straightening but failed to respond. |
| 14 | 11 | SUNNY ORIENT (V302) | C Murray | -- | Commenced only fairly and was ridden hard for first 250m to obtain position in first half. Was posted 4 runners wide and continued to race wide throughout middle stages before yielding ground from 500m to be well beaten. |
