| 1 | 2 | SMOKEY BEAR (E126) | Z Purton | B/XB/TT | Jumped fairly before racing three wide with cover in midfield throughout. Was just over 3L from lead on straightening before closing strongly down the outside to steal narrow lead in final stride in close three way finish. |
| 2 | 7 | COOL BLUE (H011) | K C Leung | TT | Shifted behind runners from wide draw & raced near the tail. Moved wider on the track near 650m, was the widest runner on cornering when just under 4L from lead before closing strongly down the outside to be narrowly beaten. |
| 3 | 10 | COLOURFUL PRINCE (E418) | Y L Chung | SR/TT | Showed speed after the start to stride to lead after 150m before being headed & passed near the 750m & racing second thereafter. Regained the lead at 300m before being caught in the final stride in a very close 3 way finish. |
| 4 | 1 | SHINING FORTUNE (G252) | K Teetan | PC/XB | Didn't have the early speed of others, raced third last along the rail. Was held up making the home turn, got clear running near the 300m before finishing strongly along the inside late to be only beaten half length. |
| 5 | 5 | SERGEANT PEPPER (E432) | B Avdulla | -- | Knuckled on jumping, ridden forward to be close to lead when wide before continuing to charge to the lead at the 750m. Headed in the lead at the 300m, battled away to be beaten 3L into midfield. |
| 6 | 12 | VAMOS (G004) | A Badel | H | Slow to begin before being crowded & racing at the tail. Was again crowded near the 650m when continuing along the inside. Was held up on cornering when 4L from lead before making up a length late when running onto midfield. |
| 7 | 6 | MASTER OF ALL (H177) | M F Poon | -- | Ridden forward to be prominent before racing three wide without cover when about 2L from the lead in the middle stages. Was only about 2L from the lead on straightening before weakening a few lengths to midfield late. |
| 8 | 4 | LUCKY BANNER (G354) | L Currie | H/TT | Knuckled on jumping & bumped before racing worse than midfield away from rail. Checked to avoid tiring runner near 650m & consequently lost ground. Was last of the main field on straightening, only held 5L deficit to line. |
| 9 | 3 | LIFE IS GOOD (H118) | H Bentley | H/XB/TT | Bumped on jumping before racing on the leaders back early before sharing third place from the 750m. Continued along the rail & straightened only about 2L from the lead before weakening poorly in final 300m to be beaten 9L. |
| 10 | 8 | CALL ME TEDDY (G233) | S De Sousa | B/TT | Ridden hard at the start before between runners when just behind the lead in middle stages. Was niggled along to hold position around the bend, was beaten & began yielding ground before straightening, weakened to long last. |
| FE | 11 | HURRY HURRY RICH (H130) | C L Chau | PC/XB/TT | Raced in midfield away from the rail in early stages. Began losing ground quickly from the 750m before going amiss and falling near the 500m (irregular heart rhythm & bled). |
