| 1 | 4 | GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY (CJ015) | B Prebble | B1 | Bounced out from the inside barrier, held a prominent position on the rail not far off from leader, ready to strike on turning, responded well under urging, hit front 150 M out, dug deep to shake off the eventual runner up. |
| 2 | 2 | GALLANT MASTER (CJ255) | C Soumillon | -- | Slow to begin, taken to the fence racing 4Ls behind in midfield, peeled out to challenge passing 400 M, made even progress but was steadied near 250 M, recovered quickly but unable to close in on the winner. |
| 3 | 7 | DECAGONAL (CH244) | Z Purton | B/TT | Quickly into stride, eased to sit in mid-division 4Ls back, came wide turning in, threatened with a strong run down the outside, kept on until flattened 100 M out. |
| 4 | 1 | CENTENNIAL SMILE (CG165) | D Whyte | B- | Fair jump, drifted towards the rear trailing 7Ls from leader, switched out to improve from 900 M, didn't have the clearest run after straightening, ran on well once manoeuvred into clear inside 150 M. |
| 4 | 3 | DRAGON BOY (CJ204) | E Saint-Martin | -- | Awkwardly away and lost position, taken to the fence and travelled behind midfield 6Ls off the pace, shuffled back to last approaching home turn, made even progress down the inside to be closest on the line. |
| 6 | 8 | ARISTOCRACY (CG070) | O Doleuze | B | Well enough away, pressed on to take up the early running until taken over near 1200 M, under pressure rounding home turn, battled on in straight, weakened inside 150 M. |
| 7 | 9 | BAUHINIA (CD118) | B Doyle | PC-/B2 | Average break, hard pressed to maintain a midfield position 5Ls behind leader, couldn't quicken when asked 350 M out and ran home one-paced only. |
| 8 | 6 | WATCHMAN (CB327) | D Beadman | B/SR | No Comments on Running information for this horse. |
| 9 | 11 | ENERGETIC BOY (CH153) | Y T Cheng | B/TT | Away with them, gradually drifted back to last trailing 8Ls to leader, moved up to midfield passing 800 M, covered ground on turning, found little under pressure, no extra inside 150 M. |
| 10 | 10 | CALL ME CULLEN (CH113) | D Oliver | B/TT | Average break, settled towards the rear 7Ls back, last turning into straight, checked near 250 M, lacked finishing kick and could beat tired runners only. |
| 11 | 12 | SIMPLY THE BEST (CE014) | W M Lai | CP | Challenged for the lead early, settled prominently just behind leaders, gradually outpaced from 450 M, hampered near 200 M, dropped out thereafter. |
| 12 | 5 | FRAMES DEPOT (CG118) | C K Tong | B | Began awkwardly, took time to muster speed, led field at a steady tempo from 1200 M, gave little response on straight dropped out rapidly inside 200 M as early hard run took toll. |
