| 1 | 3 | LEADER (CG012) | Y T Cheng | SR | Average break, ridden along to hold a spot 3Ls back on rails, had good trip off pace in midfield, still same margin back in 6th on turning, split emerged at 150 M and ascended under hard riding to score in good style. |
| 2 | 8 | MAJIN BUU (CC334) | C W Wong | V/TT- | Ordinary jump, regathered but posted 3 wide without cover 2 to 3Ls back, did share of work on circle, gradually closed to be 1L back in 3rd on bend, hit lead briely at 100 M but couldn't hold winner out late. (Dropped whip.) |
| 3 | 10 | OPTIC KING (CE139) | H K Yim | SR/CP | Amongst first few to break, pressed on to take a prominent sit 1L away outside leader, edged closer to leaders girth on circle, took over passing 200 M but couldn't sustain run last 100 M. |
| 4 | 2 | SUPER SPECIAL (CE225) | A Delpech | H/TT | Awkwardly away and lost further ground when checked, settled in last few but raced ungenerously, raced on rails 6Ls back at midpoint, last on turning, picked up at 200 M and charged last 100 M making many lengths to make frame. |
| 5 | 5 | MASTER YING (CB249) | K S Yu | B2 | First to hit ground, had speed but required to work to eventually find lead, headed them up at 800 M, steadied tempo on bend, 1/2L clear on turning, couldn't dash again when tackled at 150 M. One-paced (checked 100 M). |
| 6 | 1 | STEP FORWARD (CB166) | D Whyte | B | Away in line, faded back as expected to race 2 wide 4Ls away in running line, had a fair trip and improved between horses on bend, into clear on turning and closed steadily to be nearest on line. |
| 7 | 12 | BRAVERY LUCK (CE108) | C K Tong | -- | Taken back from outset, ended up racing 5Ls back on rails, had a quiet time in mid-section, crowded 600 M, saved ground on bend, never really got a clear crack when held up at 200 M and battled when clear (steadied late). |
| 8 | 11 | RAINBOW EXPRESS (CE144) | M Nunes | B-/V1 | Checked and lost ground early (rider briefly lost iron), regathered to push up into midfield, had ideal run in on circle, 2Ls down on turning, switched out but lacked another gear and finished at one speed last 200 M. |
| 9 | 7 | MUTUAL GAIN (CE275) | E Saint-Martin | B | Even break, ridden along to challenge for front, held rails early before taking a trail on leaders back, had dream trip thereafter, didn't find when gap appeared and just closed at same pace in straight. |
| 10 | 9 | PROFIT HILL (CE274) | F Coetzee | -- | Restrained behind runners from outset, raced 2 to 3 wide 6Ls back at tail, checked at 1000 M and overraced in mid-section, switched 4 and 5 wide turning in, made some ground to 200 M but battled thereafter. |
| 11 | 6 | WISDOM EXPRESS (CB377) | K T Yeung | B | Reasonable beginning, posted 3 and 4 wide in midfield 5Ls back, always doing it tough off course to bend, 4Ls down on turning in, run ended at 100 M when hard trip took toll. |
| 12 | 4 | EUPHORIC KID (CB165) | B Prebble | V-/B2/TT | Away with first few, couldn't slot in and ended up 3 wide 4Ls back with cover, midfield between horses throughout, struggling on bend and weakened right out in straight. (Heart irregularity.) |
