Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 12 | GIVE WELL (CJ109) | G Cheyne | BO | In midfield along the fence, 5Ls off the fast pace in middle stages, shifted out for clear run 300M and soon found his stride once straightened up, ran on well to edge out the runner-up in late stages. |
| 2 | 14 | GREAT HERO (CH016) | W M Lai | B/TT | Had a smooth run behind the pace, knuckled down well to reach the front near 50M but was caught by winner late on. |
| 3 | 9 | WIN PRACTITIONER (CG180) | D Beadman | -- | In last pair over 12Ls off the pace, improved from 700M and ran on strongly in the home straight for some late impression. |
| 4 | 6 | AMPLE GAINS (CE021) | O Doleuze | B/TT | Positioned behind midfield, driven passing 500M, finished well from off the pace without troubling the top 2. |
| 5 | 10 | EASY AHEAD (CK212) | H W Lai | V | Soon led but was taken on in middle stages and set a fast tempo down the back straight, had a commanding lead on straightening but effort flattened out inside 100M and was swamped in late stages. |
| 6 | 11 | SILVER BLAZE (CJ149) | M L Yeung | H | Never far off but was kept 3-wide without cover to final turn, stayed on but found no extra pace to challenge. |
| 7 | 3 | MASTER ELITE (CJ210) | J Lloyd | B | Given a patient ride in the rear and was over 13Ls behind pacesetter in early and middle stages, still had plenty to do on straightening, ran on strongly over final 300M. |
| 8 | 4 | SILVER SUN (CE126) | K C Leung | -- | Pressed the early pace, taken back in chasing group down the back straight, kept on one-paced till finding no extra inside 200M. |
| 9 | 8 | FORTUNE WINNER (CK315) | C K Tong | -- | Towards the rear over 10Ls back, driven inside 400M and progressed steadily but never looked threatening from off the pace. |
| 10 | 13 | TOP HONOR (CE183) | K W Leung | -- | Dropped back towards the rear over 10Ls off the pace, made steady progress on straightening but never looked like getting to the principals. |
| 11 | 7 | AMAZING JOURNEY (CH281) | M Du Plessis | B/TT | Held a 2-wide position ahead of midfield, hard driven halfway round the home turn and remained at the same pace to the finish. |
| 12 | 2 | IMPLIED VOLATILITY (CK046) | Y T Cheng | B-/PC1 | Couldn¡¦t muster early, raced 4-wide round the first turn then strode forward from 1200M to chase the pace, under pressure and outpaced from over 500m out. (Jockey said his mount didn't appear comfortable on surface.) |
| 13 | 1 | EASTERN EMPIRE (CL172) | M Chadwick | TT | Settled behind midfield 9-10Ls off the pace, had to be nudged along making the final turn, soon beaten. |
| 14 | 5 | HAPPY AMBASSADOR (CH286) | B Prebble | B | Never better than midfield, shifted to 3-wide making the final turn, under pressure near 500M, made no progress and dropped off rapidly passing 200M. (Unacceptable performance.) |
