| 1 | 10 | VIGOR DELIGHT (CK070) | J Lloyd | B-/P1/H | Taken across from a wide draw and raced as the back marker 8Ls behind leaders, waited with till 350 M then came strongly from near last to take the race close home. |
| 2 | 14 | MIGHTY SUN (CK058) | Y T Cheng | B | Made some use early to maintain a position midfield, quietly moved to a striking position approaching the top of the straight, quickened well to lead 200 M out but was caught by the fast finishing winner in dying strides. |
| 3 | 11 | CALIFORNIA MOON (CK097) | M Chadwick | TT | With leaders early, dropped back to chasing group on entering the back straight, stuck to inside throughout, picked up well final 300 M but was comfortably held at the line. |
| 4 | 6 | LEGEND (CK042) | B Prebble | -- | Not hurried in early stages, settled 2nd last 7Ls off the modest pace, taken outside to make his run, ran on well from the back of the field and narrowly missed out on 3rd. |
| 5 | 4 | IRISH JIG (CJ125) | W C Marwing | TT | Never far off in 5th, came through to challenge after straightening but lacked the extra pace over final 200 M. |
| 6 | 1 | SYLLABUS (CD388) | G Mosse | B/TT | Taken back early, 3-wide turning for home, had every chance inside 400 M and plugged on for a never dangerous 6th. |
| 7 | 5 | BERIO (CJ202) | D Whyte | V | Close to the pace all the way, briefly took over early straight, had every chance but could not find extra when challengers loomed up on both sides nearing 200 M. |
| 8 | 7 | OSVALDO (CK075) | Z Purton | B/H/TT | Held up on the inside 5Ls back in mid-division, didn't have the clearest of runs in straight and had to be angled out for room near 200 M, made modest late gains when clear. |
| 9 | 9 | MY HOME TOWN (CH331) | A Suborics | TT | Travelled 2-wide in midfield and well covered, ran on fairly to 200 M but found no extra late on. |
| 10 | 13 | OLE OLE (CK301) | M L Yeung | -- | Obtained a rail spot in mid-division, 4Ls behind passing 400 M but held up by beaten runner in mid-stretch, made minor headway once switched back to the rail. |
| 11 | 3 | SUNNY GOLF (CH138) | T H So | XB/TT | Placed handily behind leader after cutting out the early running, found disappointingly little when the race got serious, eased 100 M out. |
| 12 | 2 | GREAT ACHIEVEMENT (CD250) | K C Leung | TT | Placed 3-wide in midfield in early stages, moved to outside of leaders nearing 400 M but gave very limited response once under pressure, weakened badly close home. |
| 13 | 12 | DEPOSER (CL092) | H W Lai | -- | Caught wide on the 1st turn until reaching the lead 1200 M, was collared approaching home straight and ran out of it passing 250 M, weakened rapidly. |
| 14 | 8 | INTERCHINA STAR (CJ226) | M W Leung | TT | Towards the rear 6Ls back and never travelled at any stage, soon left behind turning in, eased. (Unacceptable performance.) |
