| 1 | 4 | SUPER MAN (T213) | N Callan | B/TT | Began well, quickly moving into slipstream of leader. Blocked early in straight, got split 300m, rolled forward to join leader 150m, edging narrowly ahead final strides. |
| 2 | 2 | CARE FREE PRINCE (V069) | H N Wong | B | First out, pulling clear but wide before crossing to fence 1150m. Under pressure from 400m, battled strongly when challenged 150m, losing in final strides. |
| 3 | 3 | VOLITATION (V223) | B Prebble | -- | Began well, racing with pacemakers before being eased back to 6th in one-off position. Angled out tuning for home to make run, loomed alongside leading pair 150m, run ended. |
| 4 | 7 | BABA MAMA (V214) | K C Leung | H/TT1 | Restrained on jumping, shifted across to find cover, settling behind midfield in one-off position. Not asked for effort until entering straight when finished off nicely. |

| 6 | 9 | FINE WITH ME (T178) | M L Yeung | H | No early pace, settling towards the rear close to rail. Left fence turning for home, taken very wide in straight, ran on steadily. |
| 7 | 8 | PENNY LANE (P021) | G Lerena | V/TT | Slow into stride, then steadied, dropping to last but away from fence. Still well back entering straight, switched wide and ran on fairly. |

| 9 | 12 | REAL SUPREME (CL247) | M Chadwick | B/TT | Ridden early to hold forward position 3L from leader. Nursed along to hold position until passing 300m when gave ground gradually. |
| 10 | 14 | SHOW MISSION (T436) | C K Tong | B | Ridden forward from an outside draw, settling one-out, one-back. Stayed with pacemakers until passing 200m when tired. |
| 11 | 1 | THE FULL BLOOM (V243) | K K Chiong | -- | Allowed to stride forward at own pace while looking for cover, before slotting in three-back, one-off passing 1200m. Under pressure from 400m and weakened gradually. |
| 12 | 6 | WINNER ST PAUL'S (T027) | C Schofield | SR | Jumped OK, taken in for cover, settling in one-off position towards rear. Swung wide entering straight but found nothing under hard riding. |
| 13 | 10 | STRIKING STAR (V015) | T H So | H/TT | Outpaced and soon in last pair. Lay out approaching final turn but never in the hunt. |
