| 1 | 6 | WISDOM EXPRESS (CB377) | K T Yeung | B | Began well. 3 wide with no cover around midfield. 5th after straightening. Came with strong run in straight. Made great progress on the outside and rallied powerfully final 100 M to get up on line. |
| 2 | 12 | THE FACULTY (CB414) | Y T Cheng | BO | Broke well. Improved from a 3 wide position to race just outside leader at 600 M. Similar turning home. Kicked home strongly. Took charge soon after 300 M, but failed to sustain effort. Went down narrowly. |
| 3 | 5 | ABLE MARS (CC273) | W M Lai | B | Jumped best. Set good pace on fence to straight. Battled hard when challenged at 300 M out. Kept on evenly without extra gear when needed. Outpaced by top pair and managed to hold on to 3rd. |
| 4 | 2 | TURF GOLD (CD342) | H W Lai | B | Average begin. Midfield or worse on fence first 600 M. Quickened when asked rounding home. Responded gamely to make good ground between runners. Late push to challenge for 3rd but closed the race off strongly. |
| 5 | 10 | LUCKY ENCOUNTER (CC143) | B Prebble | B | Began well. Restrained to shift across behind runners on rail. 6Ls back with 500 M to go. Saved ground on fence and responded strongly early in straight. Ran in restricted room final 200 M. Not fully tested. |
| 6 | 9 | CONSTELLATION (CE025) | E Saint-Martin | B | Began fairly. Lacked usual early speed. Never better than midfield in a 2 wide position. 3rd last turning in. Responded nicely whilst hanging in. Made some late headway final 100 M. Nearest at finish. |
| 7 | 3 | CROISSANT (CE109) | D Whyte | -- | Good early speed to stalk leader on the outside. Eased pressure to leader and settled 1 off 2 wide with cover after 600 M. 4th after straightening. Performed fairly in straight with no extra final 150 M. |
| 8 | 1 | DR HAENSLER (CE003) | G Mosse | -- | Pushed to follow leader on rail in a handy spot. Within 2Ls back and pressured on the bend, 3rd after straightening. Held some chance early straight from the inside. Faded final 150 M. (Back pain and restricted hindlimb action.) |
| 9 | 7 | ALL FIT (CD065) | G Schofield | B/TT | Broke with them. Outpaced early to be in the rear. 2 wide about 4-5Ls behind lead with cover halfway. Last turning into straight. Responded nicely and made up some late ground final 200 M. |
| 10 | 11 | GOOD FRIENDS (BV213) | C K Tong | B/SR | Jumped well. Kept within 2Ls off pace in the 2-wide position. Ridden along from 600 M on, but made no improvement in running. Yielded ground turning home and finished with an empty tank final 200 M. |
