| 1 | 7 | NOVEL START (M255) | D Whyte | B | Settled in midfield from a poor draw, came under pressure approaching home turn, quickened well under pressure down the centre of the straight to prevail late. |
| 2 | 6 | GRASSLAND DRAGON (S201) | C Schofield | BO/E | Jumped fairly from a poor draw, gradually settled in the last, one from last rounding home bend before saving more ground on rails turning in, fought on well between runners near the centre of the straight. |
| 3 | 10 | INTELLECTUAL GLIDE (S124) | M L Yeung | H2/P2 | Soon taken back from a wide draw settling just worse than midfield one off the rails, went wider turning in, ran on to be nearest at finish. |
| 4 | 12 | DELIGHT FORTUNE (N402) | T H So | PC-/V1/SR2 | Slightly slow out and slow to muster, settled just off the pace on rails and a close-up 3rd turning in, hit the front briefly inside the 200 metres but soon swamped by the placegetters. |
| 5 | 11 | ORIENTAL FANTASIA (P269) | H N Wong | H/SR/TT | Broke well, niggled along and sharing the pace before gaining narrow advantage halfway down back straight, held same into straight, headed inside the 200 metres and ran on one-paced. |
| 6 | 5 | NATURAL EIGHT (S243) | C Y Ho | B/H | Not far off in one-out-one-back position, similar turning in, kept on steadily without quickening. |

| 8 | 2 | GENUINE CHAMPION (P402) | B Prebble | B | Settled in midfield on rails, came slightly closer around the bend angling off the rails to challenge entering straight, ran home one-paced. |
| 9 | 8 | CHANS DELIGHT (P420) | Y T Cheng | P-/H/XB | Began fairly from a poor draw, with leaders early before shifting back to midfield while wide throughout far side, remained wide on home turn and ran home one-paced. |
| 10 | 3 | AZTEC EMPIRE (T064) | C K Tong | -- | Taken back from the widest draw for rails run, soon picked up to rear of midfield along rails saving ground on home turn, found nothing under pressure. |
