Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 2 | MR VIGOROUS (CL189) | T H So | -- | Got away well and was always in touch with leader, responded well in straight and wrapped up late to share the spoils on the line. |
| 1 | 12 | SEA PRINCE (CJ245) | W M Lai | H | Away in good order and quickly established a lead under some light urging, dictated the race with a steady pace, kept on well in straight, under strong challenge final 100 M but rallied on to salvage a dead-heat. |
| 3 | 7 | FULFIL A WISH (CL235) | D Whyte | -- | Overcame the wide draw and managed to settle in a good position with cover not far away from leaders, looked a possible winner 200 M out, fought on gamely and only gave in near finish. |
| 4 | 8 | PRAISING (CL114) | Z Purton | B-/V1 | Assumed a forward position after a good start, tracked leader one out one back, loomed a threat 300 M out, pushed the winner all the way to the line and drew clear from the remainder. |
| 5 | 6 | EURO SWIFTLY (CK091) | M L Yeung | CP/H/TT | Taken back and moved across to find the rail after the start, took closer order nearing the home turn, stayed on without reaching the top 4 which drew well clear. |
| 6 | 10 | MY MEMORY (CK173) | Y T Cheng | B | Driven to a forward position just behind leader, had his chance but was outpaced inside 150 M. |
| 7 | 9 | GREAT HEART (CK219) | B Prebble | B/TT | Placed 2-wide in mid-division, driven 450 M out, kept on at the same pace and not reached leaders. |
| 8 | 5 | SOARING RIVER (CK137) | B Doyle | -- | Taken to a midfield position and had a ground-saving trip along the fence, made a mild bid down the inside of track inside 350 M, had to shift ground passing 200 M but had little left to offer in the finish. |
| 9 | 3 | VICTORY IDE SAY (M056) | T Angland | TT1 | Not hurried in early stages, sat towards the rear 7Ls off the pace, ran on at the same pace inside 350 M, tightened for room 50 M out, eased. |
| 10 | 4 | KICK SERVE (CL385) | J Lloyd | -- | Shifted out at the start and was then restrained to a rearward position, placed 2-wide and 6Ls off the pace down the back straight, kept on one paced to the line. |
| 11 | 1 | GREEN JACKET (CL010) | C Y Ho | -- | Ended up in last after a sluggish start and over 10Ls behind down the back straight, attempted a run down the inside final 250 M, steadied near 100 M and was then held up to the line. |
| 12 | 11 | WELL NOTED (CG313) | K C Leung | TT | Switched off to near last after the start and was well off the pace in 1st half of the race, made no progress in the straight. (Jockey reported his saddle shifted and couldn't ride out the horse properly in the finish.) |
