Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 9 | ROCKET WIN (CE249) | W M Lai | CP-/XB/P2 | Held the box-seat position 1400 M out and enjoyed a nice trail behind strong pace until home turn, switched out to lead 200 M out, pushed clear and eased close home, track record. |
| 2 | 3 | TOP HONOR (CE183) | G Mosse | -- | 3-back on fence about 5Ls back in 6th at 1200 M, 3Ls down in 5th taking home bend, opted for inside run at 200 M, stayed on well for 2nd but had little hope catching winner. |
| 3 | 7 | ROYAL FALCON (CE091) | D Nikolic | B/TT | Messy start, 4-back the fence in 8th about 7Ls off pace at 1200 M, ridden along to be 5Ls back in midfield on straightening, responded well late to steal a place. |
| 4 | 12 | COURAGEOUSHEART (CD202) | D Whyte | B | Nice spot 2-wide and 4Ls back in 5th at 1200 M, made headway 3-wide with cover a neck off pace at 800 M, led at top of homestretch but headed at 200 M, tired late and missed a place. |
| 5 | 6 | MAGIC TEMPLE (CC368) | E Saint-Martin | PC/TT | Over-raced when 8Ls back in 9th at 1200 M, let stride on to be 4Ls back in midfield at 800 M, 5-wide turning for home about 6Ls behind, never likely to place. |
| 6 | 13 | THE GOODIES (CH097) | S Dye | -- | Slowest away, in last about 12Ls back at 1400 M, 7Ls back in 10th at top of homestretch, made some minor late ground, nearest at finish. |
| 7 | 4 | CELEBRATION (CB029) | Y T Cheng | B | 6Ls back in 7th at 1200 M but wide, without cover 4 wide at 600 M when 2Ls back in 5th, all out to keep within 1L of the speed at the 200 M, gave ground closer to the line. |
| 8 | 8 | FAT DRAGON (CD130) | C W Wong | -- | Disputed early pace out 2-wide at 1400 M, led on fence setting a good clip down the back, headed at top of home straight and folded inside final 200 M. |
| 9 | 10 | MILLENNIUM SPIRIT (BV221) | O Doleuze | P2 | About 11Ls off pace at 1200 M in rear, under pressure and 8Ls down at back of main group making home turn, stayed there. |
| 10 | 5 | KING HESPERUS (CE151) | M Nunes | B/TT | Away well and prominent early out 2-wide, drifted 2Ls back in 6th at halfway, lost position on the circle, 4-wide and 5Ls back in mid-division taking final turn, continued to lose ground. |
| 11 | 11 | FLORAL NIRVANA (CH232) | K L Chui | -- | Poor debut, slowly away and never on terms, 10Ls off pace at 1200 M and much the same turning for home, soon with no hope. |
| 12 | 1 | ALICE TOO (CG309) | C K Tong | B/TT | Away well and disputing early pace, 2-wide and 1L back in 3rd at 800 M, lost position on the circle and slipped 4Ls back to 6th off final bend, faded further in straight. |
| 13 | 2 | CHIMERA (CG242) | K T Yeung | XB/TT | At the back of main group 8Ls off pace at 1200 M, caught 3 and 4-wide no cover down the back, became detached on straightening, unacceptable performance. |
