1 | 5 | RED ELEGANCE (H241) | M Chadwick | B | From draw 10 unable to slot in, caught 3-wide in mid-division throughout the race, quickened up strongly 250M and flew home down the outside to snatch victory near line. |
2 | 11 | ETERNAL FORTUNE (K010) | L Hewitson | -- | Crowded at the start, gradually improved to a midfield position, closed off well final 300M to go 2nd nearing 50M but couldn't hold off the fast finishing winner. |
3 | 2 | ATOMIC FORCE (G221) | H Bentley | XB/TT | Jumped well, tracked leaders on inside, stuck to task well from 300M, not pace of first two late but managed to hold on for 3rd. |
4 | 7 | HEALTHY HEALTHY (H203) | C L Chau | PC/TT | Crowded at the start, soon taken back to the rear, over 5Ls off the pace at 400M, closed off fastest to almost claim 3rd at the line. (Jockey : instructed to ride his mount in a conservative manner in the early stages.) |
5 | 6 | ALLGREEKTOME (H007) | E C W Wong | CP-/TT | Went forward to be vying for lead on outside, kept battling top of straight, held slender lead 200M but couldn't hold off pursuing rivals late stages, faded to finish 5th. |
6 | 8 | HEROIC MASTER (G394) | A Atzeni | B/TT | Away in line, drifted back to race behind midfield, caught wide no cover from 700M, ran home steadily down outside of straight to be nearest at the finish. |
7 | 9 | ARMOUR EAGLE (G093) | K Teetan | B/XB/TT | From outside gate dropped back to race at the rear, had plenty to do 400M but made limited progress only. Never a threat to leaders. |

10 | 12 | SERGEANT PEPPER (E432) | A Badel | -- | Jumped awkwardly, ended up racing towards the rear further back than usual, failed to finish off the race on straightening. (Jockey : may not have appreciated being stepped up in Class 3 company.) |
11 | 10 | BITS SUPERSTAR (J362) | M F Poon | CP-/B1 | Began only fairly, settled further back than intended, raced in midfield early stages before drifting further back home turn, couldn't go on in the straight. (Jockey: instructed to hold a forward position.) |
