| 1 | 14 | BALLISTIC KING (C231) | K Teetan | -- | Began well before being crossed & getting perfect run in midfield away from rail. Improved into tight running between horses at the 300m before dashing to lead at the 175m & racing clear late. Easy. |
| 2 | 1 | BEAUTY LEGACY (D023) | J Moreira | H-/E1/TT- | Raced in midfield away from rail. Shifted wider on cornering, sprinted quickly on straightening, unbalanced near the 300m before finishing off strongly to second thereafter. Clear of third. |
| 3 | 3 | DECRYPT (D129) | Z Purton | H/TT | Enjoyed good run just behind leading pair away from rail. Moved up within a neck of the lead inside the 200m mark before being joined & past quickly by the winner soon after. Fought on well late to hold third. |
| 4 | 8 | STAR SHINE (B163) | C Y Ho | TT | Didn't have the early speed of others & drifted back to race worse than midfield between runners. Continued in the second half on cornering, entered last section 4.5L from the lead before finishing off well in late stages. |
| 5 | 11 | GENERAL'S DELIGHT (D022) | M Chadwick | XB | Improved to midfield after first 300m but left racing 3 wide no cover throughout. Raced tight & bumped between runners at the 300m before battling on well late. Good effort given wide passage throughout. |
| 6 | 5 | DRAGON GENERAL (T400) | V Borges | TT | Maintained position in midfield on the rail throughout. Stayed close to the inside on straightening, 3.5L from the lead entering last section, held up momentarily near the 200m before finishing off soundly in closing stages. |
| 7 | 13 | ALL IN MIND (D200) | H N Wong | H/XB/TT | Strode forward from wide barrier, improved to race outside the leader by the 1000m. Moved up to share the lead soon after straightening before being joined by winner at the 175m & yielding a few lengths thereafter. |
| 8 | 6 | INVINCIBLE MISSILE (C037) | N Callan | B/TT | Began awkwardly & lost a length before improving along the rail, just worse than midfield throughout. Moved away from the rail on straightening, 4L from lead entering last section before making up a length to midfield late. |
| 9 | 12 | LOBO'S LEGEND (C299) | K C Leung | -- | Steadied after the start & drifted back to race worse than midfield, three wide with cover. Continued on the outside on cornering, straightened just under 5L from lead but could make no further headway in dash to line. |
| 10 | 2 | GOOD STANDING (B105) | B Shinn | B/XB | Pushed forward before getting good run on leaders back. Moved away from the rail after straightening when only 1.5L from lead before peaking on effort at the 250m & weakening out thereafter. Well held. |
| 11 | 4 | PERFECT MATCH (B393) | A Hamelin | B/TT | Strode forward after start to speed to lead. Joined in the lead soon after straightening, peaked on run at the 250m before weakening out thereafter. (Blood in trachea post-race). |

| 13 | 7 | GREEN LUCK (B413) | C Wong | B/H | Not bustled after start & settled at the tail soon after. Was a clear last throughout middle stages, over 9L from the lead on cornering before making no headway in last section. Well beaten. |
