Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 3 | LUCKY DIAMOND (CE194) | F Coetzee | TT | Awkward break, prominent but 3-wide no cover early on, got in 2-wide and 3Ls behind in 4th at 800 M, 2Ls down in 3rd on straightening, hit lead 150 M out, always in command. |
| 2 | 6 | HARRY HARRY (CD019) | B Prebble | B | Tended to over-race despite having the box run on fence 2Ls off pace in 3rd or so until the 600 M, same margin behind when without a clear run on fence at 300 M, just did enough to secure 2nd place. |
| 3 | 7 | TERRAFERMA (CG016) | C W Wong | B | Led by 1L on fence at 1000 M, a neck clear at final bend and same 200 M out, headed at 150 M by winner, narrowly missed 3rd place. |
| 4 | 1 | GOLD SANDFIELD (CD054) | C Soumillon | TT | Slowly away, 3-back on fence 4Ls off the pace at 1000 M, closer in 6th place turning for home, had every chance to run a place but lacked the gears. |
| 5 | 8 | BRIGHT AND GAY (CE048) | Y T Cheng | B | Slowly away, 3-wide with cover about 5Ls back in 9th place at 1000 M, about 3Ls down in mid-division taking home bend, 2Ls down in 6th and with place prospects at 200 M, no extra. |
| 6 | 2 | PRESENT TREASURE (CC077) | C K Tong | TT | Disputed lead out 2-wide at 1200 M, settled 1L off pace in 2nd from 1000 M to home straight, all out to remain within 1L of speed in 3rd at 200 M, faded late. |
| 7 | 5 | GLOBE RIVER (CD228) | D Whyte | B | Slowly away, 6Ls back in 9th at 1000 M, 4Ls down in midfield on straightening, never looked like getting any closer. |
| 8 | 4 | A PLUS FIT (CD013) | S Sanders | B | Switched from widest gate to fence, hindered at 1000 M when 7Ls off speed towards rear, 4-wide off final bend when 5Ls back in 10th, didn't trouble leaders. |
| 9 | 14 | STAR OF NORTHERN (CD173) | K L Chui | V/TT | Prominent early 2-wide and 3Ls off pace, still just over 2Ls down in 5th off home turn but under pressure, dropped further back inside final 200 M. |
| 10 | 13 | DEFLECT (CD094) | S K Sit | TT | One from rear and 8Ls off the speed at 1000 M, 7Ls last taking home turn, no impression. |
| 11 | 12 | MASTER DREAMER (CE293) | K S Yu | B- | 4-wide no cover throughout, 4Ls down in midfield at the 800 M and much the same entering home stretch, weakened out passing the 200 M pole. |
| 12 | 10 | FEEL-SO-GOOD (CG056) | A Delpech | -- | Awkward start and 8Ls last as early as 1400 M out, about 6Ls back in 12th at top of home straight, posed no danger. |
| 13 | 11 | FEBURO (CE203) | H W Lai | B/XB | Very keen and unruly in the run, always towards rear at least 5Ls off the speed, faded out sharply inside final 200 M. |
| 14 | 9 | MEDIC LEGION (CE162) | C Brown | B1 | 4-back on fence about 6Ls off the pace at 1000 M, struggling to get any closer turning for home, soon beaten and eased down, subsequently found to have an irregular heartbeat. |
