| 1 | 1 | FLORAL PICASSO (CJ225) | K C Leung | TT | Covered ground midfield then pushed forward to make a line of 3 in the leading division near the 800 M, no cover. Managed to save ground by slotting into the 1 off line after the 600 M. Let down strongly for a convincing win. |
| 2 | 5 | MASTER DREAMER (CE293) | G Cheyne | B | Settled 3 back the fence. Peeled out to make its run early in the straight, battled on gamely. |
| 3 | 11 | LOTUS LOVE (CL155) | M Du Plessis | B1 | Slow to begin then travelled 3-wide with cover until about the 600 M. Thereafter was carted wider and when under pressure in the straight was inclined to lay in. Worked home soundly. |
| 4 | 6 | TAI HANG'S PRIDE (CJ335) | H W Lai | B | Stalked the leader along the rail. Had every chance but peaked on its run 100 M out. |
| 5 | 3 | ABLE DRAGON (CJ308) | D Whyte | B/TT | Camped behind midfield the fence. Made some late headway over the final stages. |
| 6 | 8 | HOME WITH GLORY (CL171) | B Doyle | CP | Raced midfield, 1 off with cover. Shifted out and obtained a trail 3 deep on the circle. Maintained a steady gallop to the finish. |
| 7 | 7 | ESPERANZA (CG159) | C K Tong | H/TT | Settled at the tail of the field close to the rail. Made fair ground along the inside in the run to the line. |
| 8 | 12 | LUCKY TYCOON (CH318) | M L Yeung | B | Settled near the backmakers, 1 off with cover. Swung wide on the corner but failed to make any impression. |
| 9 | 4 | BLEDISLOE (CK073) | Z Purton | B/TT | Raced 1 out 1 back for most of the trip. Peeled out to travel 3-wide without cover from about the 500 M. Never fired in the home straight. |
| 10 | 9 | GOOD FORTUNE (CK279) | J Lloyd | SR/H/TT | Settled at the rear of the field, never really travelled and failed to be competitive, finishing well back. (See Racing Incidents.) |
| 11 | 10 | GOLD JOINT (CK394) | Y T Cheng | H | Began awkwardly then proved difficult to settle in the early stages whilst leading along the fence. Faded quickly in the home stretch. |
| 12 | 2 | DIAMOND RAINBOW (CL079) | M W Leung | -- | Travelled outside the leader in 2nd position. Was a beaten horse near the 600 M, tailing out in the straight. (To trial.) |
