Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 6 | SURE GAIN (CJ038) | W C Marwing | H/TT | Tracked leader along the fence, travelled strongly throughout and took charge inside 200 M in a matter of strides, kept on well to deny the fast finishing runner-up. |
| 2 | 10 | ENERGETIC BOY (CH153) | D Whyte | B | Soon taken across to the fence, travelled 7Ls off the pace in a position behind midfield, pressed home from 500 M and ran on nicely down the inside, shifted ground to challenge 200 M out and finished with a flourish. Closest at the line. |
| 3 | 1 | FISHKING EXCELLENT (CG232) | J Lloyd | V | Slotted into a 2-wide position before the home turn, placed handily in 4th and was always in touch, came with a strong looking challenge inside 350 M but turned flat close home. |
| 4 | 5 | EMBRACES (CH175) | W M Lai | B | Broke well but was eased back for cover before settling in midfield 2-wide, plugged on inside 350 M for a non-threatening 4th. |
| 5 | 11 | COME HO CHOI (CE082) | T H So | B | Hard ridden to go forward, crossed to lead near 1300 M and set a decent pace upfront, kept on till 200 M and weakened noticeably thereafter. |
| 6 | 8 | KINGSTON TEMPLE (CH234) | Z Purton | B | Allowed to drift back to a rearward position, way off the pace in middle stages and made a forward move inside 600 M, stayed on ok in straight but was given too much to do. |
| 7 | 12 | CALL ME CULLEN (CH113) | M W Leung | B/TT | Obtained a midfield position along the fence, placed behind a beaten runner and was steadied and shuffled back approaching the home turn, ran on fairly in straight without threatening, steadied near 100 M. |
| 8 | 9 | ALL FOR ONE (CH180) | B Prebble | V1 | Unable to shift in after jumping and went forward to avoid getting wide, travelled fairly in 2nd and was under serious pressure making the home turn, soon beaten in straight and was eased down inside 200 M. |
| 9 | 2 | DECENT FELLOW (CH021) | K C Leung | B/H/TT | Failed to muster speed and was settled in the rear over 10Ls behind leader, had impossible task turning in and made only minor headway in straight. Never likely. |
| 10 | 4 | SERIOUS PLAY (CC003) | H W Lai | B | Jumped well but couldn't muster enough speed to obtain a position forward, trapped 3 deep without cover towards the rear, struggled to keep up on the turn and was eased down early in straight. (Jockey questioned.) |
| 11 | 3 | LITTLE BIG BOY (CJ012) | D Beadman | CP/TT | Drifted back to a rearward position 10Ls off the pace, had huge task turning in and never picked up (Unacceptable performance.) |
| 12 | 7 | KING OF TURF (CJ102) | K T Yeung | H/TT | Ridden along to hold a position ahead of mid-division, never travelled at any stage and was in trouble after halfway, gave ground rapidly making the turn and finished tailed off. (Unacceptable performance.) |
