| 1 | 8 | LITTLE DRAGON (S264) | J Moreira | -- | Began well, but not used up early and taken to sit in midfield, 3 wide with cover. Ran strongly to the line despite a tendency to lay in, and pulled away in the last 100m. |
| 2 | 3 | YOUNG RANGER (S435) | Z Purton | B/TT | Taken forward early to be handily placed 3-4th on the rail, trailing the leader. Ran strongly to the line, but couldn't kick with winner. Just took 2nd late. |
| 3 | 4 | HAPPY CONTENDER (T363) | E da Silva | B | Pushed forward to be handily placed early, 3 wide with no cover. Pressed forward from the 700m, to sit outside the early leader. Pushed to the line, but easily beaten by winner and peaked late to lose 2nd. |
| 4 | 11 | INDUSTRIALIST WAY (S023) | B Prebble | TT | Dropped back early from the wide barrier to sit worse than midfield, 3 and 4 wide with limited cover. Came wider on the turn and ran strongly to the line. |
| 5 | 14 | SURE PEACE (S326) | K Teetan | B/TT | Dropped back from the wide draw to sit at the rear of the field, 3-4 wide. Near last on turn, and came very wide in the straight. Finished off strongly with the 2nd fastest last 400m, but had too much to do late. |
| 6 | 6 | NORTHERN FALLS (T354) | G Mosse | B | Pushed forward from the kick to go to the lead, before slowing the tempo in the back straight. Led at the 250m, but peaked soon after and dropped out late. |
| 7 | 7 | EAGLE POWER (P038) | G Lerena | B/TT | Didn't kick early from the inside draw and sat midfield on the fence early. Ran on steadily in the straight, but lacked a big kick and never threatened a place. |
| 8 | 2 | EXECUTIVE MANDATE (S149) | K C Leung | TT | Briefly crowded on jumping and awkward on heels early before finding a position midfield early. Checked out of run at 700m and dropped back. Took the shortcut along the rails turning for home, but didn't kick in the straight. |
| 9 | 9 | CHINA DELIGHT (N148) | K K Chiong | B | Began awkwardly, dropping back to last early, keen and on heels. Keen up the back straight before becoming unbalanced at 700m. Last on the turn, but ran steadily to the line and picked up some slower ones late. |
| 10 | 10 | DASHING SUPER (N348) | M L Yeung | V/TT | Taken forward early to sit just outside the early leader in 2nd. Dropped out in the straight, and not pushed out to the line late. |
| 11 | 1 | VANILLA (P439) | N Callan | -- | Raced tight early and dropped back to his usual position towards the rear of the field, 1 off the fence. Not suited to the slow pace in the back straight and pressed forward 800. Only fair to the line. |
| 12 | 13 | SPINNING DANCER (S078) | M Chadwick | CP | Pushed forward from the wide barrier, but stuck 5 wide around the first turn. Eventually sat forward of midfield, 4-5 wide with no cover. Race was run by the turn, and dropped back quickly in the straight. |
| 13 | 12 | WIN IT (P032) | H N Wong | CP | OK away and found a spot around midfield, 1 off the fence. Under pressure before the turn, and dropped out quickly in the straight. Eased to the line late. |
