Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 9 | WONG'S FAVOURITE (CG131) | Y T Cheng | SR/V | Settled midfield, 3-wide with cover. Shifted out and went forward to take the lead near the 600 M, opened up a large break on the field. Sustained run to the wire to win convincingly. |
| 2 | 3 | REWARDING STAR (CG234) | D Beadman | CP/H1 | Went forward and led early from a wide barrier before handing up after the 1200 M. Took a trailing position on the fence and angled out to be 3 deep passing the 500 M to improve. Worked to the line soundly without threatening. |
| 3 | 2 | PACIFIC ALLIANCE (CC230) | D Whyte | B/H/TT | Began awkwardly and settled in 3rd position along the fence. Started to come off the fence near the 600 M and made a solid run 4-wide turning for home. Made good late ground out wide. |
| 4 | 1 | CAPABILITY (CE094) | C Soumillon | CP/TT | Slow to begin and settled in 2nd last position 1 off with cover. Commenced to go forward near the 600 M in a 3 deep position. Peeled out turning for home and although inclined to shift out in the run home, ran on well. |
| 5 | 7 | SINOSPIEL (CG003) | A Delpech | B | Slowly away and raced midfield the fence. Kept on one paced in the straight. |
| 6 | 11 | KNIGHT TEMPLAR (CC021) | C K Tong | B/XB | Travelled 2 deep with cover, midfield. Didn't quicken in the final straight and stayed on dourly. |
| 7 | 8 | HONG KONG GEM (CE114) | G Boss | -- | Settled in last position along the fence. Remained to the inside in the straight, made some ground over the final 300 M, but was never a factor. |
| 8 | 10 | DANEPRINT (CC221) | C W Wong | B | Didn't muster a lot of early speed and raced behind midfield, 1 off with cover. Struggled at the business end. |
| 9 | 12 | CHALLENGER (CE138) | H W Lai | TT | Was caught 3-wide in midfield, no cover early and pressed on to sit outside the leader near the 600 M. Raced 2 deep thereafter until straightening. Gave ground quickly inside the final furlong. |
| 10 | 5 | RIGHT CHOICE (CE102) | Z Purton | -- | Raced 3 back along the fence, struggled turning for home. |
| 11 | 6 | VITALITY CHAMP (CD301) | P H Lo | B/XB | Box seated early, then shifted out from behind the leader near the 1300 M and took up the lead passing the 1200 M. Led from that point on, but gave in meekly from the 500 M. |
| 12 | 4 | PURPLE GOLD (CD249) | B Prebble | B/SR | Raced 1 out 1 back, was a beaten horse approaching the 450 M. To trial. |
