Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 7 | APPRECIATION (CK161) | C Williams | V/TT | Didn't have to work too hard to cross from widest gate to race 1L back in 2nd down back straight; led 300m out; always holding a small margin. |
| 2 | 9 | DANZULU (CJ069) | B Prebble | B | Raced in 4th or 5th out 2-wide no worse than 3Ls off down back straight; over 1L off winner at the 300m; kept on well; couldn't get past APPRECIATION. |
| 3 | 10 | CASH MONEY (CH030) | Y T Cheng | B/H | Soon led on fence by 1L; held a similar break before being headed by winner 300m out; all out to barely cling onto 4th. |
| 4 | 2 | GRAND DANCER (CK268) | D Whyte | -- | Box-seated on fence 2Ls off pace in 3rd through to final bend; had every chance to at least place; lacked a decisive turn of foot. |
| 5 | 1 | OSVALDO (CK075) | Z Purton | B/H/TT | 6Ls back in 12th or so down back straight; still a good way back off last turn; made up good late ground; never nearer. |
| 6 | 13 | FULL PACK (CJ312) | T H So | CP | 2-wide in midfield between 4Ls and 5Ls from speed through to final turn; kept on at the same pace to wind up. |
| 7 | 5 | WALKONTHEWILDSIDE (CG033) | K C Leung | -- | Taken back to race 4-back on the fence; 5Ls down on the circle; could only hold this margin in the straight. |
| 8 | 4 | CALIFORNIA MOON (CK097) | M Chadwick | TT | Soon contrived to be 3-wide no cover despite exiting gate 4; about 2Ls back in 4th or 5th until final turn; weakened in the home straight. |
| 9 | 12 | DRAGON EYE (CJ127) | M W Leung | TT | With cover but slightly worse than midfield some 5Ls from pace before last bend; never likely to trouble principals. |
| 10 | 14 | FAVOURITE SUPREME (CH203) | W M Lai | B-/XB/TT | No early speed and soon 8Ls last; similarly placed before final bend; never dangerous. |
| 11 | 6 | YANKEE (CH271) | J Winks | -- | 3-back the rails about 4Ls off speed in 6th or so through to the last bend; weak finish after the soft trail; later scoped with blood in trachea. |
| 12 | 11 | CLASSIC REUNION (CH166) | D Beadman | B/SR | Held up in 12th; left 4-wide no cover on the circle and widest into straight when 6Ls off pace; made no impact down centre of track. |
| 13 | 3 | AMPLE GAINS (CE021) | W Pike | B/TT | Raced last or one from last throughout when at least 7Ls from the pace. |
| 14 | 8 | MERIDIAN PRIDE (CH057) | G Mosse | B/TT | Didn't lead this time; 4-wide no cover and keen at 1000m; gained cover in midfield on circle; no turn of foot and very weak final 200m. (Trainer warned for inconsistent performance.) |
