Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 7 | LOCAL POWER (CH296) | C W Wong | -- | Reasonable jump, pressed on to take up running, ran race to suit with moderate sectionals in middle stages, taken on from Rock and pace went on, gave rivals the slip at 200 M and went on to score a cosy win. |
| 2 | 4 | CHATER SILK (CG050) | D Whyte | B | Moderate to begin, slotted in nicely on fence 3Ls off lead, had ideal run in mid-section, caught in field when pace quickened at Rock, angled into clear on bend and closed off nicely for 2nd. |
| 3 | 6 | JUBILOSO (CD381) | E Saint-Martin | B/TT | Began well, took a prominent spot on leaders back, had a dream trip with standard tempo, right there but flat out turning, went to inside but had to shift at 150 M, held ground strongly to line. |
| 4 | 8 | PRIME TARGET (CH242) | G Boss | -- | Standard to begin, ended up in midfield 4Ls back in 2-wide line, had a reasonable run in mid-section, made a fast move passing 500 M, applied acid test to leader on bend, couldn't maintain sprint last 100 M. |
| 5 | 11 | SEA TREASURE (CD335) | D Beadman | B | Unable to take a spot from a wide alley, drifted back to race 5-6Ls back in running line, not helped by tempo throughout, ridden along on bend, made steady headway down centre without threatening. |
| 6 | 5 | SOLAR POWER (CE047) | M Nunes | TT | Away with first few, went forward to take a close up role 1 out 1 back, suited by speed 2Ls back throughout, caught flat footed when they dashed, just held ground in straight. |
| 7 | 12 | SOUNDS FANTASTIC (CH146) | W M Lai | -- | No early toe, ended up at rear 9Ls off pace, not helped by a moderate tempo, made a 3-wide run from mid-point, still 8Ls back when sprint went on, made gradual progress in straight from an impossible spot. |
| 8 | 10 | AWARD (CE111) | A Delpech | TT | Taken back from a wide alley, settled 6Ls back on rails, not helped by steady speed, saved ground on bend but had work cut out chasing when speed quickened, made some late ground. |
| 9 | 9 | QUALITY-QUALITY (CE250) | K T Yeung | -- | Average jump, assumed usual role well back in field, raced 9Ls back in a 2-wide line, disadvantaged by tempo throughout, well back to bend, made a little headway in straight very wide on track. |
| 10 | 1 | MELLIFLUOUS (CH212) | B Prebble | B/XB/H | Began nicely, raced outside leader 1L away, had a good run with steady pace on, couldn't dash when pace quickened at Rock and passed by circling horse, weakened out in straight. (Note racing incidents re-trip.) |
| 11 | 2 | ELECTRONICS SPUR (CE285) | K L Chui | XB/TT | Out only fairly, posted 3-wide in midfield 5Ls back, had a tough run without cover, urged along to follow forward moving horse at Rock, lacked a response and struggled in straight. |
