Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 3 | EJIMERIC TE SPECSO (CK282) | D Whyte | -- | Jumped fast from wide draw, easily ran up to lead and found fence near 1100m, travelled keenly in early stages, remained uncontested until 250m, responded well under hands and heels riding, did well enough to hold off late challenger. |
| 2 | 4 | FIONN'S DRAGON (CL046) | B Prebble | TT | Crowded start, held up in midfield, 5Ls off the pace on the rails, niggled along to hold position from 1100m to 800m, was blocked well shifting outward early in straight, showed good turn of foot when clear final 200m; post came too soon. |
| 3 | 14 | PRIVATE ROAD (CK189) | J Lloyd | B/XB | Out in line, urged along to occupy a fence position 4Ls behind the leader, travelled nicely rounding bend, slightly held up at the top of home straight, ran on soundly when clear passing 200m for 3rd. |
| 4 | 7 | NAMJONG HUNTER (CH280) | A Suborics | -- | Broke well, sat prominently within striking distance from leader, obtained clear early in home straight, had every chance to at least place, could not match the stride of the 3rd final 100m. |
| 5 | 12 | SPICY FRUITY (CJ220) | C W Wong | -- | Broke well from gate one, urged along to take the box-seat just behind the leader, kept on fairly well early straight, lacked a strong kick to challenge the principals. |
| 6 | 10 | WINNING SCHOLAR (CJ273) | W C Marwing | B1 | Broke well and mustered fast, restrained to a 2-wide position 2Ls behind the leader, bit difficult to settle in early stages, had a good gallop in home straight and looks possible for at least a place until flattened passing 100m. |
| 7 | 11 | EXTRA SPECIAL (CJ213) | Z Purton | CP | Taken rearward and settled last on the rails, 5-6Ls back turning for home, made up some ground final 300m but never really threaten the principals. |
| 8 | 5 | PACKING FRIEND (CK109) | H W Lai | -- | Awkwardly started losing ground, shaken up to find a 2-wide position with cover in just behind the mid-division, swung widest for home, only remained one-paced under maximum pressure. |
| 9 | 1 | SUCCESSFUL ERA (CK276) | T H So | -- | Broke well from the widest alley, held up to a 3-wide position with cover in midfield, 4-5Ls behind the leader, shifted widest for home, gave limited response when asked for efforts, passed only the tired runners final 200m. |
| 10 | 8 | MARK UP (CK247) | A Gryder | -- | Lacked early speed, allowed to ease to two from rear in search of cover, made up little ground along the inner final 300m under hands and heels riding. |
| 11 | 13 | GREAT UNITY (CJ209) | M Chadwick | -- | Up with early pace but failed to find cover when caught 3-wide, flattened early in straight, soon dropped out. |
| 12 | 2 | MATSUKAZE (CK150) | C K Tong | TT | Awkwardly started, shaken up to catch up quickly in the one out one back spot, failed to keep up passing 350m, weakened sharply and gave ground. |
| 13 | 9 | PROSPEROUS (CL054) | O Doleuze | -- | Taken back and sat at the rear, shifted widest for home, failed to make up any ground in the straight. |
| 14 | 6 | WATCH FIRST (CL160) | K L Chui | SR1 | Out in line, niggled along to sit 3-4Ls off the pace, 3-wide with cover, struggled from 800m, got tired 400m, finished tailed out. |
