| Placing | Horse No |
Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 7 | TOP TOP LIGHT (CG182) | O Doleuze | PC1/TT | Slowest out, held up in rear, going well when 6Ls down 600 M out, stayed on strongly in the straight to lead inside final 100 M, decisively. |
| 2 | 1 | PICKETT (CG155) | P H Lo | -- | Soon 1L back in 2nd and same turning for home, led briefly about 150 M out but quickly swallowed up by the winner and only just held 2nd. |
| 3 | 12 | TYCOON TAYLOR (CH288) | M W Leung | B | 3-back along rails in 5th or 6th down the back, niggled along 600 M out, all out in the home straight to barely nick a place. |
| 4 | 10 | MASTER GREEN (CJ104) | K T Yeung | V | Slow to muster early pace, 3-wide with cover down the back straight, 3Ls down in 4th turning for home, jockey dropped whip at 300 M, nearly placed. |
| 5 | 5 | SUPER GENERAL (CJ107) | H W Lai | H/TT | Worse than midfield on rails about 5Ls from the speed through to home straight, headway before being up 50 M out, may have placed otherwise. |
| 6 | 4 | NAMJONG FIGHTERS (CG308) | D Beadman | B-/TT1 | Lacked early pace, 8Ls back in rear at 800 M and still well back turning for home, made some good late headway, never nearer. (Questioned.) |
| 7 | 8 | GAUCHO (CE033) | W M Lai | TT | Led as usual, about 1L clear on rails until the home straight, headed inside the 200 M and tipped out of a place late on. |
| 8 | 11 | NICE KING (CG147) | M L Yeung | B-/P1 | Midfield and 3-wide with cover at first but lost ground on the circle to be 6Ls down near rear off last bend, no danger from then on. |
| 9 | 2 | WELL NOTED (CG313) | B Doyle | CP-/B1/TT | Over-raced down the back straight around midfield, 3Ls down in 3rd on straightening, dropped out quickly in closing stages. (Bled.) |
| 10 | 9 | EL ZONDA (CK132) | K L Chui | TT1 | Midfield with cover initially, under pressure to lie up turning for home, never dangerous. |
| 11 | 3 | RIGHT TONE (CJ309) | Y T Cheng | -- | 4-wide without cover throughout, 2Ls off speed in middle stages but steadily lost position on the circle and fizzled out tamely. |
| 12 | 6 | GOOD LUCK WIN (CK004) | C K Tong | XB1 | Towards rear, hung out very badly at the 800 M and detached in rear before final bend, never a factor. |
