Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 6 | SWEET BABY (CG294) | G Boss | B | Patiently ridden 6Ls off pace in 10th at 1000 M, quiet progress before edging out clear off final bend, picked up well to lead inside final 100 M, tidily. |
| 2 | 2 | CHEERFUL HEART (CC206) | O Doleuze | B | 3-back on fence about 3Ls down in 6th at 1200 M and held same spot turning for home, ran on best of the rest without matching the winner's kick. |
| 3 | 4 | VINCERE (CE324) | D Beadman | CP | Held 2nd about 1L from the pace out 2-wide at 1200 M and upsides turning for home, held a clear but brief lead 200 M out, one-paced thereafter. |
| 4 | 10 | KINGSTON TEMPLE (CH234) | W M Lai | B | Midfield about 4Ls back with cover from 1200 M to home turn, ran on pretty well in the finish, best effort to date. |
| 4 | 11 | HAPPY ALL AROUND (CD248) | K L Chui | B-/TT | Had the run of the race on fence 2Ls off pace in 3rd from 1400 M to final bend when travelling well, no excuses for not achieving a place. |
| 6 | 7 | VINTAGE GOLD (CG094) | M Nunes | SR-/B1 | Led by 1L on fence at 1200 M and about a neck clear turning for home, headed 200 M out, didn't find much under pressure as usual. |
| 7 | 1 | CENTENNIAL SMILE (CG165) | D Whyte | CP | Slowly away, never travelled well in rear, about 7Ls back in 11th at 1100 M, niggled throughout, 5Ls back in 10th at final turn, never dangerous. |
| 8 | 12 | LAZY BUDDIES (CC208) | M W Leung | B | 10Ls last early on, niggled along to race about 6Ls last entering home straight, made some very minor late ground. |
| 9 | 5 | HARRY HARRY (CD019) | H W Lai | XB | Worse than midfield about 6Ls behind early speed, 3-wide with cover on the circle and 4Ls down on straightening, always held. |
| 10 | 3 | MEATH (CE143) | B Prebble | SR/V | Trapped 3-wide without cover throughout, pressed on to race 1L back in 3rd or 4th from halfway to home turn, ceded ground rapidly in the straight. |
| 11 | 8 | LIMONCELLO (CH178) | A Delpech | B/TT | Handy position 2-wide and 2Ls down in 3rd at 1200 M, struggling to lie up swinging for home, wilted. |
| 12 | 9 | CITY SURFER (CG129) | C W Wong | B/H | Saddled slipped about 1400 M out and then raced forward and very wide, eased out of race in home straight, ignore the run. |
