| 1 | 10 | SOLAR WONDER (CL034) | H W Lai | V | Led 2-wide early. Got the fence 1100 M out. Held a 1L advantage turning in. Always had enough to hold off rivals. |
| 2 | 11 | WINNING PAL (CJ138) | O Doleuze | B | Raced within 4Ls of the pace on fence through to home straight. Ran on strongly final furlong to snatch 2nd without threatening the winner. |
| 3 | 5 | HEALTHY CONTENDER (CJ342) | T Angland | H- | 2-wide at midfield early. Bumped and was taken 3-wide passing 1300 M. Made run 4-wide approaching 400 M and was 4Ls down into final stretch. Finished off satisfactorily without seriously challenging the front pair. |
| 4 | 2 | GRANDWAY FLYER (CK302) | Y T Cheng | B/H | Soon in forward spot on fence. Elected to take box seat passing 1100 M. Under pressure from 600 M. Kept on in the straight but failed to progress further. |
| 5 | 1 | ROCKET AND GOLD (CH015) | D Whyte | B/TT | Eased to sit 2-wide towards rear from wide barrier. Gradually shifted 4-wide home turn and was 5Ls away leaving the bend. Made up decent ground thereafter. |
| 5 | 4 | GREAT SHOW (CK001) | Z Purton | B | Drawn high and trapped wide early. Eventually parked 2-wide behind leader 1300 M. Hard ridden passing 400 M to challenge leader but was one-paced to conclude. |
| 7 | 6 | FANTASTISCH (CK017) | W M Lai | XB/TT | Began well but caught 3-wide. Slotted 2-wide ahead of midfield passing winning post first time. Pressed approaching 400 M and was well-positioned to strike in the straight. Couldn't follow through. |
| 8 | 3 | FOREST FOUNTAIN (CJ047) | G Cheyne | B/TT | 2-wide behind midfield. Never nearer. |
| 9 | 7 | GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY (CJ015) | K C Leung | B | Taken to rear on fence after start. Urged from 500 M but still the last entering home straight. Beat tired runners late. |
| 10 | 9 | ICE FIRE (CJ272) | J Lloyd | SR/XB/H | Ahead of midfield early. Switched 2-wide passing 1300 M. Forced 3-wide without cover 1200 M out. Struggled when the tempo quickened from 400 M. Beaten top of straight. (Substantial mucopus, lame left fore and stiff right hind.) |
| 11 | 12 | JOYFUL YEARS (CG143) | T H So | -- | Taken to race towards rear from high draw but trapped 3-wide. Came widest with the main bunch home turn. No extra soon after straightening. |
