Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 3 | PURPLE GOLD (CD249) | B Prebble | B | Fastest to begin, pushed along to hold spot behind the leader, had good run 2Ls away trailing speed, reigned up on turn, gained dream split entering straight, accelerated nicely to score an easy win. |
| 2 | 5 | STEP FORWARD (CB166) | O Doleuze | SR-/B | Standard start, ridden up to hold better spot 3 back on rails 3 to 4 lengths away, had easy time thereafter, crowded slightly at 600 M, in traffic on turn, hard ridden in straight and got going late to grab 2nd on line. |
| 3 | 7 | WE'RE BUDDIES (CC142) | W M Lai | SR/B2 | Jumped nicely, allowed to slide across into midfield running line position, raced 2-wide 4-5Ls away throughout, gained 3-wide trail into race at 400 M, steadily made ground down outside to snatch 3rd late. Even effort. |
| 4 | 8 | JUSTINIAN (CB324) | M Nunes | -- | Broke well, showed good early speed to challenge for lead, applied pressure before sitting 1L away outside leader in middle section. Challenged on turning and was in it until 200 M but couldn't sustain run last bit. |
| 5 | 9 | NEW TAMAR (CE156) | Y T Cheng | B | Fair to begin and lacked early toe, raced near enough to last 8-9Ls from leaders in 2-wide spot, still well back on turn, made run between horses and made up some good ground late. |
| 6 | 11 | A BETTER DRAGON (CC329) | R Fradd | SR | Not impressive to leave gates, urged along to hold position just off midfield, raced 5Ls away on rails, not asked in middle section, angled out on turn, weaved between horses in straight but lacked extra gear to be a factor. |
| 7 | 1 | DANRIVA (CA040) | D Whyte | -- | Broke with them, unable to slot in and posted 3-wide without cover, always working 4Ls away wide in middle section, pressed on to be 2Ls away on turn, was one-paced in run home and faded last bit. |
| 8 | 6 | GREEN IDEAL (CG013) | H K Yim | B | Fast to begin, hard ridden to take up running passing post first time, overraced a touch and kept rolling at even clip 1L clear, tackled at 400 M, 1/2L clear into straight but unable to go on with it and slowly faded last 200 M. |
| 9 | 12 | JOY AND TREASURE (CD251) | M Odendaal | V/TT | Awkward to begin, drifted back to worse than midfield, raced in 2-wide spot 6-7Ls from pace, eased out into straight, closed race off fairly down outside. |
| 10 | 10 | TOUCH DOWN (CB013) | F Coetzee | B/TT | Showed no speed from gate, ridden along at tail, raced on rails 10Ls from front runners, again pushed along approaching turn, made some ground to 200 M when held up but doubtful would have been a factor. |
| 11 | 4 | SMARTY (CE036) | H W Lai | B/TT | Crowded and steadied early, settled down near enough to last on rails 8-9Ls away, didn't use much in middle section, hard ridden approaching turn, couldn't find much at all in straight. (Jockey advised reluctant to stride out.) |
| 12 | 2 | DRAGON INN (CE327) | N Ryan | -- | Broke with field, caught a little wide early and pressed forward to slot in 1 out 1 back, raced 2-wide 3-4Ls away in middle section, urged along from 500 M, offered nothing in run home. |
