Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 10 | TEAM FORTUNE (T306) | D Whyte | -- | Pressed forward from outside draw, racing 3-wide to turn before cutting in 600m to sit outside leader. Shaken up entering straight, took over lead 200m, kicked clear. |
| 2 | 5 | HARBOUR ALERT (T254) | C Schofield | -- | First out, stayed with pace to 1050m before easing to sit behind leader. Improved position turn, switched out in straight and ran on steadily. |
| 3 | 2 | TIMELY ARRIVED (S431) | H N Wong | B | Began well, vigorously ridden to lead 1050m before crossing to fence. Under pressure turning for home, overtaken 200m, battled on gamely. |
| 4 | 6 | SUN TOUCH (V266) | T H So | H/TT | Hard ridden from outside draw to go forward, racing wide, then left without cover from 600m. Losing position, dropping 3L from leader. Lay in top of straight but boxed on gamely. |
| 5 | 3 | DEJA VU (T376) | K C Leung | B/TT | Began well, raced with pace, bumped 900m but held one-off position 2L from leader. Got shuffled back around turn, took inside run in straight and kept on steadily. |
| 6 | 8 | LANSBURY (T164) | K Teetan | -- | Jumped OK, not pushed, settling along rail 4L from leader. Stayed on rail around turn and ran on fairly in straight without looking dangerous. |
| 7 | 1 | SKYROCKETS (T096) | N Callan | P-/XB1 | Jumped with field, not pushed, racing behind midfield in one-off position. Ran into a dead-end top of straight when attempting to improve, then one-paced. |
| 8 | 4 | NOBLE ALPHA (M339) | M Chadwick | P | Began fairly, outpaced, dropping to rear in one-off position. Made up some ground around turn, switched wide in straight, one-paced. |
| 9 | 11 | BEAUTY CONNECTION (T415) | J Moreira | TT | Began well, pressed forward in one-off position to sit 1L behind leader. Eased 600m to get cover but raced fiercely, switched out again to get clear run but didn't finish off. |
| 10 | 9 | LOOKS LIKE THE CAT (T238) | C Y Ho | TT | Began OK but soon outpaced, dropping towards rear along fence. Switched out entering straight to make run but only one-paced. |
| 11 | 7 | TIANHUANG (T303) | S Clipperton | CP1 | Began fairy, then crowded, dropping back. Ridden aggressively but failed to pick up and soon became detached from field. Plodded home. Unacceptable performance. Lame right hind leg. |
| 12 | 12 | GREAT SKY (N426) | H W Lai | V-/TT- | Began fairly, outpaced and soon at rear. Never likely thereafter. |
