| 1 | 5 | HAPPY ALL AROUND (CD248) | H W Lai | B | Fast into stride. Took fence before first turn and settled prominently within 2Ls from leader. Travelled comfortably throughout. Pressured from 400 M in 3rd. Battled hard final 200 M and snatched win at the line. Great effort. |
| 2 | 12 | TO SIR WITH LOVE (CE054) | K L Chui | V | Began well. Niggled along with bottom weight to go forward. Soon led on fence. Always about 1L clear until approaching the turn. Had easy trip throughout. Attempted to make all, but found no extra final 50 M to hold off rival. |
| 3 | 10 | METRO LEADER (CE005) | W M Lai | -- | Away well. Midfield or better and hard to settle early. Had easy trip throughout. Pressured from 600 M. 3Ls behind lead on fence on straightening. Kept on giving in straight. Showed good fight to finish 3rd. |
| 4 | 2 | DURABLE (CE190) | S Dye | -- | Began fairly. Worked its way to the rail before the first turn and parked 3Ls behind lead. Checked and lost ground at 600 M. Hugged rail on bend. Had field to beat on turn. Made strong run down inside, just failed to finish in top 3. |
| 5 | 6 | LOK WAH TREASURE (CA361) | D Dunn | TT | Bounded at start. Settled in rear. Over 6Ls off speed approaching the turn. Continued to improve on circle without pressure. 3rd last turning in. Made steady ground on the outside. Nearest at line. |

| 7 | 7 | WE'RE BUDDIES (CC142) | G Schofield | B/SR | Average to begin. Lacked early speed to keep near rear 6-7Ls away. Raced 2-wide with cover 6Ls back at 600 M. Pressured on bend. Made ground steadily in straight. Lacked dash to be a factor. |
| 8 | 9 | KID GALAXY (CB455) | C Munce | B | Away well. Settled just behind speed. Raced outside leader's heels at 800 M. Stalked leader at its girth on turn. Lost ground from 400 M in 3rd. Unable to pick up in straight, overhauled final 200 M. |
| 9 | 4 | HONG KONG GEM (CE114) | Y T Cheng | V1 | Began only fairly and was slow into stride. Raced 4 deep with no cover from 1200 M till straight. Hard ridden on bend and 7 to 8-wide turning in. Soon weakened. |
| 10 | 1 | GIDDY KIPPER (CB303) | B Prebble | B | Away with rest. Taken hold of to settle behind midfield 2-wide 5-6Ls away. Ran on well on bend. 4Ls back in 7th after straightening, but no response to riding. Weakened after 200 M. (See Racing Incidents.) |
| 11 | 11 | DASH FOR VICTORIES (CB389) | S K Sit | SR-/V2 | Jumped very well. Pushed forward along rail, then allowed to settle amongst last few on fence. Checked at 600 M. 8Ls off after straightening in tail. Had too much to do and only past one tired runner. |
