Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 4 | CALIFORNIA FORTUNE (A415) | K H Chan | B/TT | Pushed forward under 10lb claimer, crossed to lead just before the turn, kept responding in straight, dug deep closing stages to fend off a strong challenge from the runner up. |
| 2 | 5 | FULL OF BEAUTY (C003) | J Moreira | -- | Tracked leaders 2-wide, into top gear chasing winner from 250M, held by short head. Well clear from remainders. |
| 3 | 3 | STYLING CITY (B280) | Z Purton | B-/CP1 | Jumped well from draw 1, chased leaders, checked 850M and drifted back to midfield, ran on well in the straight to get 3rd but couldn't reach first 2. |
| 4 | 9 | FORTUNE BOOTH (A418) | M Chadwick | CP | Checked at the start, raced in 2nd last, badly held up 300M-150M, chased strongly when clear to just miss 3rd. Entitled to finish closer. |
| 5 | 6 | DRAGON GENERAL (T400) | C Schofield | B2/TT | Jumped evenly, drifted back to race towards the rear, wide home turn, closed off well down outside, nearest finish. (Lame next day.) |
| 6 | 8 | SUPER HOPPY (A372) | C Y Ho | TT | Dropped back from wide barrier, improved position to be racing behind midfield home turn, brought wide to challenge making some late headway without threatening. |
| 7 | 2 | CALIFORNIA WHIP (A114) | U Rispoli | B/H/TT | Brushed with rivals after the start, raced in mid-division, 3-wide no cover from 900M, kept on evenly on straightening, held ground final 200M. |
| 8 | 7 | REFINED TREASURE (B065) | K Teetan | XB | Hampered at the start, restrained in midfield, pushed along from 600M, kept grinding on early straight but unable to quicken final 250M. (Jockey : first time race round a turn may contribute to disappointing performance.) |
| 9 | 1 | JUMBO LUCK (V068) | H N Wong | -- | Pressed forward to be outside leader entering the turn, ran on early straight and had every possible chance, peaked on its run 200M, weakened towards the line. |
| 10 | 12 | BREEDERS' STAR (V197) | M L Yeung | H | Eased back to rear from wide barrier, moved closer to be just behind midfield 700M, 5Ls to make up 400M, not much into finishing effort. |
| 11 | 10 | WATER DIVINER (V356) | R Bayliss | B/H/TT | Raced in mid-division, 3-wide making home turn, came off bridle 600M, didn't finish off the race. |
| 12 | 11 | STORM SIGNAL (B055) | K C Leung | B/XB/TT | Up with early pace, severely checked 900M, in 3rd place home turn, found no extra passing 300M, weakened away. |
| 13 | 13 | HAPPY FAMILY (C116) | T H So | TT | Reared at the start losing ground, detached in rear, eased down turning home, finished tailed out. (Unacceptable Performance.) |
