| 1 | 6 | GIGA SPIRITS (CE335) | O Doleuze | XB/TT | Close-up no worse than 2Ls off pace in 5th or so until the 300 M when briefly held up, switched right into clear running at 200 M, rallied strongly late to lead on line. |
| 2 | 14 | ZAVONE (CG036) | Y T Cheng | TT | Worse than midfield but travelling well through first 500 M, good headway to lead 150 M out, looked to be doing just enough but evened out final strides and caught on the line. (Bled.) |
| 3 | 8 | PLEZAYRE (CG116) | K T Yeung | XB/TT | Away well from gate 1 and edged across to centre of track to lead at halfway, headed about 150 M out and passed by winner soon after, comfortably held 3rd. |
| 4 | 10 | GALLANT KNIGHT (CC189) | M Nunes | V/TT1 | Towards rear about 3Ls off pace early on, ridden along to take closer order at 200 M, always just held by principal trio. |
| 5 | 12 | RAINBOW OASIS (CH165) | D Nikolic | -- | Close to stands' rail within 2Ls of the speed in midfield until the 200 M, outpaced by the front quartet in final 200 M. |
| 6 | 4 | TRAVEL CONSULTANT (CG266) | C W Wong | -- | Slowest away and soon detached in rear about 7Ls off pace, still in rear but just 4Ls behind at 200 M, kept on at same pace closing stages. (Bled.) |
| 7 | 13 | GRAND COMMANDS (CD300) | A Delpech | SR | Away best, led by about a head down centre of track until 300 M out, stayed on at the same pace once headed. |
| 8 | 3 | HAR HAR CHARMS (CE100) | D Whyte | -- | No worse than 1L off pace in 6th or so before being checked at 200 M and caught in traffic until the line, not fully tested, should have finished closer. |
| 9 | 7 | DIVINE TOUCH (CG291) | G Mosse | B1 | Away well and vied for the lead until about 400 M out when under pressure, didn't find much off the bridle and weakened. |
| 10 | 11 | BULB TREASURE (CH048) | K S Yu | -- | In rear bunch about 3Ls off pace on stands' rail until halfway when under pressure, faded out gradually. |
| 11 | 5 | FLASHING STAR (CC018) | W M Lai | B- | Not far away in midfield on far side until the 400 M, petered out thereafter. |
| 12 | 2 | KINGIFLY (CG020) | A Starke | -- | Travelled well on far side about 2Ls or 3Ls off pace until the 400 M, found nothing when asked to quicken up. |
| 13 | 9 | PACIFIC ADVANTAGE (CH109) | H W Lai | -- | Nicely placed in midfield about 2Ls off speed until the 400 M pole when under pressure to lie up, soon beaten and eased close home. (Blood in trachea.) |
