Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 9 | LITTLE COW (N444) | Z Purton | TT1 | Showed good gate speed, found the fence after the 1000m and led. Made every post a winner thereafter and had the race in it keeping at the furlong, impressive debut. |
| 2 | 12 | HOW SPEEDY (M384) | R Fourie | TT | Rated midfield, 4 deep, had cover. Swung the home bend widest and ran on soundly. |
| 3 | 1 | DEMON DEMON (N292) | K C Ng | B/TT | Camped 4th from the rear, 2-3 wide with cover. Came wide turning for home & closed off with plenty of determination. |
| 3 | 8 | KING HARADASUN (N396) | D Whyte | TT1 | Tracked the leader along the fence. Shifted out to race 1 off no cover after the 800m, settling in second position, kept on evenly in the straight. |
| 5 | 4 | DANEWIN TIGER (CL282) | Y T Cheng | -- | Wide going into the first turn but managed to gain cover on the circle, 2-3 deep, slightly ahead of midfield. Kept battling away in the home straight. |
| 6 | 3 | FRIENDS OF YAN OI (M406) | T Clark | CP-/H1/TT | Parked midfield, 2 deep with cover. Kept whacking away at the same pace all the way down the running. |
| 7 | 13 | NOBODY BUT YOU (M202) | B Prebble | B | Settled behind midfield, 1 off with cover. Kept on at the same speed in the run to the winning post. |
| 8 | 6 | FANTASY AND GOLD (N326) | C W Wong | -- | Had every hope after settling 3 back the paint. Was a beaten horse at the furlong. |
| 9 | 2 | DAPPER BOY (N135) | W C Marwing | CP1 | Raced just behind the speed, looked likely to settle 1 off but was carried out after the 700m, to race 3 deep no cover. Was under pressure early in the straight but failed to respond. |
| 10 | 7 | JACKTHELAD (N122) | H W Lai | -- | Crowded at the start settling towards the rear along the paint. Was dour in the home stretch. |
| 11 | 5 | MAKE A FORTUNE (M362) | T H So | -- | Taken across behind runners shortly after the start and travelled at the rear of the field 2-3 wide with cover. Only plodded to the line. |
| 12 | 14 | BRILLIANT LIGHT (M388) | C Y Ho | H/XB | Travelled in a rearward position 2-3 wide with cover. Made no impression when placed under pressure. |
| 13 | 10 | PACKING DE LAGO (N278) | C K Tong | -- | Slow to begin, slotting onto the running rail, midfield with cover. Shifted off near the 600m, racing in the 1 off line, struggled in the home stretch. |
| 14 | 11 | INVICTUS (N282) | M Chadwick | XB1 | Posted for most of the trip, 4 deep without cover, while travelling behind the speed. Never likely. |
