| 1 | 1 | BRAVE KID (CK391) | D Whyte | -- | In midfield and not hurried in early stages, moved into contention approaching the straight, swept to the lead 250M, kept finding what was required to hold off the persistent runner-up and stretched his unbeaten record to six. |
| 2 | 7 | ABOVE ALL (CJ215) | G Mosse | -- | Travelled well a fair way back in 6th, responded well inside 400M and came through inside to challenge, rallied on when the eventual winner ranged alongside, refused to give up and fought all the way to the line. |
| 3 | 4 | INTERCHINA STAR (CJ226) | K C Leung | TT | Positioned in 4th in what was a strongly run race, ideally placed to strike turning in, didn't quite have the pace of the front pair but kept on well enough to hold on for 3rd. |
| 4 | 5 | BULLISH CASH (CH049) | M Chadwick | TT | Along the fence in midpack, behind horses turning for home and had to be switched for a run, clear inside 250M but couldn't peg back the first two. |
| 5 | 2 | BEST FRIEND (CH240) | J Victoire | B | Towards the rear over 10Ls back, waited with till 450M, made steady headway and did best of those to come from off the pace. |
| 6 | 3 | BEAUTY FOREVER (CK074) | C Soumillon | B/TT | Placed 3-wide in mid-division and raced without cover in the first half, stayed on final 400M but could not find another gear when it was needed. |
| 7 | 10 | GALLANT CHAMPION (CJ002) | A Suborics | TT | Behind midfield over 10Ls back in middle stages, shakened up passing 600M but responded only fairly, battled on to the line but couldn't find the extra pace to challenge seriously. |
| 8 | 9 | CERISE CHERRY (CL141) | W C Marwing | SR-/CP2 | In 3rd 6Ls behind the runaway leader, crept closer over the turn but could find only the one pace final 400M and never looked like winning. |
| 9 | 11 | FEARLESS (CH301) | J Lloyd | -- | Way off the pace in 2nd last, headway from 400M then ran into traffic 250M, ran on again once switched but couldn't reach leaders. |
| 10 | 13 | THE ONLY KID (CH173) | C K Tong | H/TT | Switched off out the back and trailed over 12Ls in middle stages, kept to inside throughout and could make very limited progress in early straight before fading late on. |
| 11 | 6 | DEPOSER (CL092) | T H So | -- | Gradually crossed from draw 14, went a strong gallop upfront and kicked 4Ls clear in middle stages, was pegged back over the final turn and had no extra left when headed 350M. (Trainer and Jockey questioned.) |
| 12 | 12 | NEEDLES AND THREAD (CJ282) | K W Leung | B | 4Ls back chasing leader which went off a strong pace, joined the lead passing 550M but found little when asked in straight, weakened inside 300M. |
| 13 | 8 | APPRECIATION (CK161) | O Doleuze | V/TT | 3-wide behind mid-division and left with no cover from 800M, swung widest into straight, not picked up and was eased over final 150M. |
| 14 | 14 | PANTHER RUN (CL140) | H W Lai | TT1 | Placed 2-wide behind midfield 10Ls off the strong pace, struggled passing 600M and was beaten a long way. |
