Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 10 | CARE FREE PRINCE (V069) | C Wong | B | Hard ridden & showed early speed to cross to the lead. Continued in the lead over a length clear on straightening & had enough in reserve to hold late challenger. |
| 2 | 12 | CITY LEGEND (A086) | K Teetan | B | Race din midfield on rail. Two lengths from the lead entering last section, squeezed between runners inside last furlong before finishing off strongly in concluding stages. Well clear of third. |
| 3 | 1 | DREAM WARRIORS (C280) | C Y Ho | CP/H/TT | Raced wide in midfield early before improving position to race outside the leader by the 900m. Came under hard riding when leader kicked away on straightening before battling away to hold well held third. |
| 4 | 13 | IRON KING (C133) | G van Niekerk | H | Steadied across to midfield soon after start before racing keenly in middle stages when 3 wide with cover. Moved wider again on straightening before making steady late ground in last section. |
| 5 | 7 | REGENCY MASTER (D225) | Z Purton | TT | Showed some speed after the start to race third, away from the rail in early stages. Obtained cover near the 900m. Around 4L from the lead entering last section & effectively maintained that margin in dash to line. |
| 6 | 11 | YES WE CAN (C307) | K C Leung | CP2/TT | Began awkwardly & missed the start before settling near the rear. Stayed close to the inside on straightening before making up late ground to midfield from the rear. |
| 7 | 3 | RULE THEE (A172) | B Shinn | -- | Raced in midfield between runners throughout. Only 3.5L from lead entering last section but could make no further improvement & was well held in midfield. |
| 8 | 6 | NATURAL STORM (C461) | M F Poon | B | Didn't have the early speed of others & drifted back worse than midfield after start. Ridden along from the 600m, cornered with only 3 behind before passing a few tiring runners to midfield. Well held. |
| 9 | 5 | BETTER CHOICE (A383) | M Chadwick | CP- | Allowed to drift back after start & soon raced at the tail. Hampered near the 900m. Continued at the rear, 7.5L from the lead entering the last section before shifting the widest runner & passing a few to midfield. No threat. |
| 10 | 4 | SMART CHARADE (A314) | N Callan | B/H/TT | Steadied from widest barrier & shifted across when 3 wide near the rear. Effectively maintain position in the final section & was never likely. |
| 11 | 8 | INCANTO PREPARED (D009) | J Moreira | E/TT | Ridden forward after the start before being left 3 wide without cover in midfield throughout. Forced very wide on cornering before offering very little & weakening last 300m. (Must trial – unacceptable perf). |
| 12 | 14 | SUCCESS ALLSTARS (D065) | M L Yeung | -- | Steadied & drifted back to worse than midfield after start. Crowded near 1000m, before being restrained & relegated to second last near the 800m. Hard ridden prior to cornering & made no headway in last section. Well held. |
| 13 | 9 | WINNING TOGETHER (B356) | V Borges | B/TT | A touch slow to begin before mustering quickly to improve to midfield on rail. Moved away from rail nearing the home corner, 3L from lead entering last section before weakening out in last 300m. (Lame next day). |
| 14 | 2 | SO GLORIOUS (C430) | H N Wong | CP1/TT | Showed good early speed, crossed near the 1100m & racing on leaders back before momentarily racing ungenerously soon after. Moved wider on straightening before weakening out sharply in final furlong. Last. |
