Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 9 | SPLENDID LIVING (E192) | M Dee | CP/TT | Soon crossed to the lead, led steadily early stages before quickening up 700M, continued on well in the straight building up an unassailable lead 200M, won comfortably. |
| 2 | 10 | QUANTUM PATCH (H166) | K Teetan | TT1 | Restrained to a position behind midfield 5Ls off the pace, swung wide home turn, stayed on well to claim clear 2nd, not reach winner. |
| 3 | 3 | ZONE D (D415) | B Avdulla | TT | Jumped only fairly, settled behind midfield along the inside, ran on mildly passing 300M, got up for 3rd late but never a threat to the runaway winner. |
| 4 | 6 | IVY LEAGUE (H116) | L Ferraris | H/SR/XB/TT | Obtained a midfield spot, saved ground along the fence throughout, kept on steadily final 300M but lacked a strong finishing effort. |
| 5 | 12 | TOP TOP TEA (H048) | A Badel | -- | Chased leaders in a 3-wide position without cover, pushed along 550M but lacked the needed response, fought on one paced to the line. |
| 6 | 4 | SO WE JOY (D082) | Z Purton | CP2/TT | Held up in mid-division, 4Ls to make up 400M, responded mildly when asked, never going the pace to challenge. |
| 7 | 7 | STAR CONTACT (E472) | H Bowman | CP/TT | Chased leaders on inside, went 2nd from top of the straight, not able to challenge leader, swamped by rivals final 150M. |
| 8 | 1 | RISING FROM ASHES (G209) | K C Leung | B/TT | Positioned ahead of midfield, never far off the pace 3Ls behind leader, responded fairly under top weight final 250M, never a threat. |
| 9 | 5 | LOYAL BABY (E130) | M Chadwick | TT | Tracked leader, came under pressure 400M, hung early straight, made no progress and came up empty 200M, faded towards the line. (Jockey could offer no explanation for the disappointing performance.) |
| 10 | 8 | OUR LUCKY GLORY (G292) | C Y Ho | SR/TT | From wide draw shifted across behind runners, raced as the back-marker 8Ls off the pace, failed to close off in the straight. |
| 11 | 11 | THE HULK (C431) | L Currie | -- | From wide draw taken back to near the rear, bustled along 600M but failed to respond to riding, never involved. (Jockey : was asked to ride in a conservative manner to avoid racing wide in anticipation of genuine early pace.) |
| 12 | 2 | NOT USUAL STAR (G396) | L Hewitson | H/TT | Jumped awkwardly and lost ground, settled towards the rear, couldn't go on passing 400M, made no impact on his first visit to Happy Valley. |
