Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 12 | SMART MAN (P103) | K C Leung | H/XB/TT | Began OK and settled just forward of midfield on the rails. Came to the middle of the track for the best running in the straight and worked strongly, leading at the 150m. Weakening late, but held on. |
| 2 | 11 | CLEVER BEAVER (S352) | M Chadwick | TT | OK away and taken forward to sit in a handy position, 1 off the fence trailing the leader. Came wide on the turn, looking for better running, with the winner getting the jump inside. Chasing best late, but just missed. |
| 3 | 2 | EROICO (T009) | J Moreira | B1 | Began well and taken forward from the wide barrier to sit forward of midfield, 3 wide no cover. Came wide on the turn looking for better going. Responded when asked the question at 200m and ran on solidly late. |
| 4 | 6 | ALL GREAT FRIENDS (S279) | G Mosse | -- | Good start and taken up to sit just behind leader on the fence. Stuck closest to the fence in the straight, but never kicked and went to the line looking 1 paced. |
| 5 | 4 | LUCKY DOUBLE EIGHT (P212) | C Y Ho | TT | Began fairly and eased forward to sit midfield, 3 wide with cover. Started to move wide in straight, before switching back in to avoid the traffic. Ran on fairly late, without ever threatening the first 3. |
| 6 | 1 | I'M IN CHARGE (S164) | B Prebble | -- | Bumped and unbalanced shortly after jumping, and positioned midfield 3-4 wide. Wider on turn, and plugged away in the straight, picking up a few of the slower ones. |
| 7 | 8 | GOLDEN SLEEP (T117) | K Teetan | P-/E1 | Dropped back from the jump to sit 2nd last, 8L off the leader by the 800m. Was the widest turning for home, but only plugged away fairly in the straight. |
| 8 | 10 | CALIFORNIA BOUNTY (P222) | K C Ng | TT | Began well, and pushed forward from the wide barrier to lead. Still had a share of the lead at the 200m, but faded from that point and dropped back. |
| 9 | 3 | HARBOUR PUNK (S262) | N Rawiller | XB | Began OK and found a position midfield 1 off the fence. Came to the better part of the track in the straight, but never closed off late. |
| 10 | 7 | JETWINGS (T124) | D Whyte | SR/TT1 | Jumped poorly and pushed forward early, eventually settling worse than midfield closest to rail. Travelled well until the turn, but never responded to pressure and ran to the line 1 paced late. |
| 11 | 5 | LOVELY DELOVELY (S022) | H N Wong | B/H | Began OK, and was being taken forward early before losing a run and settling worse than midfield 2-3 wide. Dropped back to last on turn, and showed no improvement in the run home. |
| 12 | 9 | RAINBOW FIGHTER (N193) | C K Tong | XB/TT | Reared on jumping, struck head on the barriers and was very slow to begin. Sat at the tail of the field, 4-5 wide, before moving forward mid race. Never improved better than midfield, and never ran on in the straight. |
