| 1 | 2 | CHINA SPORTFIELD (CG032) | K L Chui | BO | Standard jump, taken back from outside alley, raced near to last 2 wide 5Ls back, not suited by speed, well back to bend, swept down middle with a big run to overhaul them and score easily. |
| 2 | 4 | CELESTIAL WONDER (CG046) | K T Yeung | XB/TT | Away in line, landed 1 out 1 back spot, had run of race with no pace on, challenged 3 wide without cover on circle hit lead briefly at 200 M but couldn't sprint again to match winner. |
| 3 | 9 | LUCKY CORDELIA (CD088) | K Shea | -- | Better jump, settled a little close 4Ls away in running line, had a fair trip, behind horses on turning 2Ls back, closed evenly along inside late. |
| 4 | 7 | SHOW BRAVELY (CB388) | M W Leung | B | Failed to muster, ended up on rails 6Ls back at rear, not helped by tempo, in traffic on circle, still behind horses and steadied when improving at 150 M, even close to make frame. |
| 5 | 1 | SPICY HOT (CH064) | G Mosse | -- | Out with them but restrained from a wide draw, raced 3 wide at rear 6Ls back, not suited by slow pace, made a wide run on circle, run ended at 200 M. |
| 6 | 8 | SPEED OF LIGHT (CC333) | H W Lai | TT | Even jump, settled in midfield on fence, had easy trip 4Ls back, lost position on bend, made little impression in straight, just battling at same speed. |
| 7 | 6 | FRAMES DEPOT (CG118) | D Whyte | B | Bounced out, lead then with ease, elected for trail and ended up outside leader by midpoint, had good trip with lack of pace on, tackled at 300 M, one paced. |
| 8 | 10 | CHALLENGER (CE138) | G Boss | TT | Fair to begin, ended up 3 wide no cover 4 to 5Ls back, did share of work and crept forward 4 wide on circle, found nothing at business end, plodding to line. |
| 9 | 5 | SILVERBIRD (CB335) | Y T Cheng | B2 | Average jump but pushed on to race behind leader, not used with slow pace, right there on turning, found nothing under pressure and dropped out. (Blood in trachea.) |
| 10 | 3 | GEM POWER (CH013) | O Doleuze | TT | Awkwardly away, rushed forward to take up running dictated terms in front, challenged on bend, stopped quickly, well beaten. |
