Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 7 | GOLDEN CHOPSTICKS (P120) | H W Lai | -- | Began well, soon restrained to race behind midfield, 5Ls off the pace making the turn, swung wide for home, wound up strongly to get up near 50M. |
| 2 | 9 | HARBOUR ALERT (T254) | D Whyte | H | Tracked leader, ran on well to take command from 200M, led to near 50M. |
| 3 | 5 | THOR THE GREATEST (P396) | H N Wong | -- | Driven to the lead, set strong early pace, slowed things down in 2nd quarter, lost lead 200M, fought on to hold 3rd just. |
| 4 | 2 | SMART DECLARATION (S436) | R Fourie | SR/TT | Jumped well, never far off from leaders, kept on steadily final 300M, just missed out on 3rd. |
| 5 | 1 | LOTUS BREEZE (T112) | B Prebble | XB/TT | Settled down 3-4Ls off the pace, into clear 300M and had every chance, ran on moderately and failed to pose serious threat to first 2. |
| 6 | 12 | GREAT RUN (P223) | K C Ng | B | In midfield, raced keenly early, 4Ls off the pace 400M but lacked the necessary response in straight, held ground final 200M. |
| 7 | 11 | ALL WIN BOY (P171) | G Benoist | H/TT | Began awkwardly, towards the rear and well off the pace early stages, moved a shade closer over the turn, stayed on only fairly up the home straight, never threatened. |
| 8 | 6 | BEST EFFORT (T220) | V Cheminaud | -- | Slowly away, 2nd last 7-8Ls away, not quickened when shoved along 400M, never involved. |
| 9 | 4 | SALSA BROTHERS (V022) | K C Leung | CP1 | Close up in 3rd, not found extra when pushed approaching top of straight, dropped away passing 250M. |
| 10 | 3 | RED MARVEL (T417) | K Teetan | H/TT | Chased leaders, caught wide no cover from early stages, gave ground passing 300M. |
| 11 | 10 | COUR VALANT (P190) | Z Purton | B/TT | Dropped back to rear from 10, severely checked 450M and forced extremely wide to avoid a broken down runner, out of contention. (Jockey not comfortable with horse's action / No Vet findings) |
| PU | 8 | ANDNOWURMINE (S403) | C Y Ho | -- | Towards the rear, broke down passing 450M, pulled up. |
