Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 5 | MONTE CRISTO (CH120) | C Y Ho | B/TT | Parked in 2nd last position, 2-3 wide with cover. Swung widest on the home turn and unleashed a barnstorming run down the outside to grab victory close to home. |
| 2 | 4 | ISTIDE (CJ089) | M L Yeung | TT | Camped 3 back the fence. Swept to the front at the 100m and looked the winner until pipped in the shadows of the post. |
| 3 | 3 | BESPOKE MASTER (CL227) | D Whyte | -- | Stalked the leader along the paint. Kept on well over the concluding stages despite drifting out in the run to the line. |
| 4 | 7 | BROTHERS IN ARMS (CJ070) | T Angland | B | Led along the fence from a wide gate. Went a steady gallop in front but commenced to shift out near the 150m & was collard over about the final 100m. |
| 5 | 6 | EN MASSE (CL398) | D Beadman | B | Settled midfield 1 off with cover. Raced in restricted room for some distance approaching the 400m, finished off well after obtaining clear running near the furlong. |
| 6 | 10 | ABLE DRAGON (CJ308) | Z Purton | B/TT | Slow to begin settling at the rear along the rail. Kept to the inside in the final stretch and closed off soundly. |
| 7 | 1 | BLADE FORCE (CK330) | M Chadwick | B/TT | Jumped awkwardly then was ridden along to settle in 2nd position outside the leader. Faded over the last 100m. |
| 8 | 12 | MACASSAR (CL382) | J Lloyd | B/SR2 | Travelled worse than midfield the fence after beginning awkwardly. Only plodded to the line. |
| 9 | 8 | LOTUS LOVE (CL155) | T H So | V | Settled 1 out 1 back. Was under hard riding after the 500m but couldn't quicken and never really responded. |
| 10 | 9 | FAST INTENTIONS (CL271) | P Strydom | B/TT | Settled back in the field, 3 wide with cover. Peeled out to race 4 wide after the 500m, but failed to run on. |
| 11 | 2 | O'REILLY MAGIC (CJ134) | K C Leung | -- | Faced the breeze 3 wide & without cover for most of the trip when travelling in a midfield position. Never likely. |
| 12 | 11 | SPARKLING (CK149) | H W Lai | CP | Settled behind midfield, 2 deep with cover. Passing the 1200m, the saddle shifted forward, placing the rider at a considerable disadvantage for the remainder of the race. |
