Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 10 | SUPER IDEAL (CC223) | J Lloyd | TT | Slow to begin, in a rearward position early but gradually crept closer to be 5Ls down in back straight, chased the eventual 2nd inside 300 M, kept finding and eventually got up just before the line. |
| 2 | 1 | FORTUNE WARRIOR (CD096) | B Doyle | B- | 2-wide in midfield, tracked well to bend and came with a strong looking challenge in straight to hit front near 150 M, kept up the gallop all the way but was nailed right on the line. |
| 3 | 4 | GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY (CJ015) | Z Purton | B | Guided to the fence and raced in mid-division 5Ls back, patiently waited with before edging into clear inside 300 M, produced a solid finish but never able to match on terms with the first two. |
| 4 | 8 | JOYFUL YEARS (CG143) | J Winks | B | Broke well from barrier one, held inside run 3Ls back in a position better than midfield, travelled well enough throughout, picked up gradually from 350 M but posed little threat to the first two which were well ahead of the rest. |
| 5 | 11 | ENERGETIC BOY (CH153) | D Whyte | B | Eased back to a spot towards the rear, 8Ls off the pace as they settled in middle stages, took a while to gather speed but stayed on ok towards the finish. |
| 6 | 9 | DRAGON BOY (CJ204) | E Saint-Martin | -- | Drifted back to a rearward position 7Ls off the pace, had a relaxed run along the fence but was held up behind a wall of horses early in straight, shifted out to improve near 200 M and closed off the race fairly. |
| 7 | 3 | FISHKING EXCELLENT (CG232) | W C Marwing | V | Average break only, ridden to a position one off the fence just behind leaders, held every chance and looked a threat early in straight, couldn't sustain effort passing 200 M and weakened gradually to the line. |
| 8 | 5 | ZERO GRAVITY (CH037) | M Chadwick | TT | Crossed to lead as expected, set a slow pace in front and travelled well enough, urged from 300 M out but unable to shake off the pursuing pack, headed inside 150 M and was swamped over the closing stages. |
| 9 | 2 | SPRING SMILES (CG269) | K C Leung | B | Allowed to drift back on jumping and raced as the back marker about 8Ls back, had enormous task passing 400 M, ran on one-paced beating tired runners only. |
| 10 | 6 | PRIMIATA (CG226) | H W Lai | V/XB/TT | Rushed to the front from a wide barrier and travelled one out one back, under pressure passing 400 M but failed to keep up, dropped out inside 150 M. |
| 11 | 7 | DASHING FLAIR (CE330) | O Doleuze | CP/XB | Away well enough and tracked leader one back in 3rd, found nothing when asked before fading away inside 200 M. (Bled for the 2nd time and subsequently retired.) |
