Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 5 | YOUNG ELITE (CJ349) | B Prebble | -- | Positioned in midfield and always going nicely, made smooth headway to join the leaders near 200 M, came clear and soon had the race won in good style. |
| 2 | 3 | DANESIS (CH194) | M Chadwick | TT | Up with the pace early before emerging as the clear cut leader near 1300 M, kept on well in straight only to find the winner too strong. |
| 3 | 1 | BEST FRIEND (CH240) | D Whyte | B | Held up behind midfield 4 to 5Ls back, squeezed through to challenge inside 400 M, stayed on well to miss out narrowly on 2nd. |
| 4 | 8 | BERIO (CJ202) | R Fradd | XB/CP1 | Settled 3Ls back in midfield along the fence, box-seated early in straight but had every chance when cleared for a run 300 M out, unable to step up a gear and just held ground in the run to the line. |
| 5 | 9 | TOP HONOR (CE183) | Y T Cheng | B | Drawn wide and was gradually eased back to the rear obtaining cover, 5Ls to make up going into straight, stayed on down the outside without troubling the principals. |
| 6 | 11 | SPECIAL DRAGON (CH325) | M W Leung | TT | Prominent early but was shuffled back to midfield rounding the home bend, steadied near 400 M to obtain a run but couldn't find much when cleared. |
| 7 | 10 | REAL SPECIAL (CH320) | C W Wong | XB | Began awkwardly, raced in a 3-wide position towards the rear, 4Ls down passing 400 M and could only plug on at the same pace. |
| 8 | 2 | FEARLESS (CH301) | K C Leung | B | Switched off to the rear 8Ls behind leaders and used little in running, switched wide to challenge in straight but responded only fairly. |
| 9 | 6 | HOME TREASURE (CJ208) | M Du Plessis | -- | Went forward as expected, raced along the fence one back from leader, looked a threat early in straight but found no extra inside 200 M giving impression that the step up in trip did not suit. |
| 10 | 7 | TOM'S SIX (CG264) | C K Tong | CP | Assumed a rail position behind midfield, under pressure from 600 M and dropped away quickly passing 250 M. Tailed out. |
| 11 | 4 | GEM OF CHIU TON (CJ188) | B Doyle | B | Awkwardly away, 3-wide in midfield but was left without cover from 1200 M, gradually strode forward to race alongside leader, weakened rapidly inside 400 M. Tailed out. (Jockey and trainer questioned.) |
