Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 4 | WATCH BUDDY (H185) | H Bentley | -- | Jumped well then restrained to race behind the lead, worked into the race well and loomed at the 250M, delivered a strong challenge to get up last stride. Determined victory. |
| 2 | 5 | HEALTHY HEALTHY (H203) | A Badel | TT | Emerged as leader passing 900M, held narrow lead on straightening, fought hard when challenged by eventual winner final 150M, just beaten in a photo. |
| 3 | 9 | CHAMPION METHOD (H366) | Y L Chung | CP-/B1/TT | Began well and maintained position just off the lead on settling, stuck to task well passing 300M, couldn't go with first 2 near 150M but kept trying right to the line. Good effort. |
| 4 | 2 | TORONADO PHANTOM (E300) | B Avdulla | P-/TT | Not hurried after the start, reserved behind midfield 5Ls away, worked home solidly from 300M to claim 4th. Nearest finish. |
| 5 | 12 | GOLDEN DARCI (H470) | K De Melo | P/XB | Taken back from wide draw and settled at the tail of the field 7Ls away, stayed on final 300M but failed to trouble leaders. |
| 6 | 8 | GLORIOUS JOURNEY (J137) | M Chadwick | -- | Jumped on terms, settled ahead of midfield along the fence, poised to strike turning home and was only fair to the line. |
| 7 | 11 | STREET CONQUEROR (H341) | M L Yeung | TT | Bumped shortly after the start, held up 2-wide in midfield, battled on fairly passing 300M. Not reach leaders. |
| 8 | 7 | LEEDOX (J154) | Z Purton | TT1 | Fractious in stalls and began awkwardly, settled behind midfield along the inside, failed to finish off leaving the bend. (Jockey: hung in in the home straight and proved difficult to ride out.) |
| 9 | 3 | ACE ONE (G196) | C L Chau | SR-/B/TT | From draw 10 ended up racing wide no cover behind leading trio, couldn't go on passing 300M, soon no threat. |
| 10 | 1 | CAPITAL DELIGHT (H262) | K Teetan | TT | Jumped awkwardly, raced towards the rear, 5Ls to make up 400M but lacked the dash under 135lb, failed to finish off. (Jockey : not suited by the pace being run outside of standard time.) |
| 11 | 10 | ENFOLDED (H336) | K C Leung | TT | From wide draw shifted across behind runners, settled at the back 7Ls off the pace, had the job ahead passing 400M but couldn't muster any sort of challenge in the straight. |
| 12 | 6 | NORTHERN BEACHES (H266) | L Hewitson | -- | Jumped awkwardly, ended up racing 3-wide in midfield, came under pressure home turn and faded out in the straight. (Jockey : didn't appreciate racing around Happy Valley circuit.) |
