| 1 | 9 | THE BEST HERO (D314) | H W Lai | B | Mustered speed to improve after start before racing in midfield away from rail. Eased wider on straightening, made continual steady ground to strike lead in final few strides to win narrowly. |
| 2 | 3 | WHIZZ KID (E392) | K Teetan | B1/TT1 | Pushed forward from widest gate, raced 3 wide without cover in a line of 3 at the front. Shared lead on straightening, moved to narrow outright lead passing 200m mark before being caught in final few strides. |
| 3 | 1 | EIGHT TRIGRAMS (C102) | M F Poon | B | Not fast away but improved along the rail from inside draw to share lead near 850m. Continued to share lead until passed near 200m mark before holding third beaten just under 2L. |
| 4 | 4 | BLOTTING PAPER (D043) | A Hamelin | B | Raced close to lead in early stages before being crossed & racing just behind the leading trio from the 700m. Entered last section 2.5L before holding that margin & place when finishing steadily to line. |
| 5 | 7 | VALIANT ELEGANCE (D285) | C L Chau | B/TT | Improved after the start to share the lead in the middle of a line of three near the 800m. Continued only a neck behind on straightening before peaking at 250m mark & weakening a few length to midfield late. |
| 6 | 8 | FORTUNE HAPPINESS (B128) | J Moreira | B | Raced only a length from the lead in first furlong before steadying & getting position in midfield. Was ridden along approaching 600m, stayed on rail on straightening when about 3L behind before yielding a few lengths late. |
| 7 | 11 | THE MINT (E073) | C Y Ho | H/V/TT | Raced in midfield early before drifting back when failing to hold position in middle stages. Cornered wide when over 7L behind before making up a couple of lengths in late stages when running onto midfield from the back. |
| 8 | 6 | EVERYONE'S VICTORY (E177) | A Badel | H/TT | Reared at start & lost ground and consequently raced a clear last. Was about 10L behind entering last section, moved wide on straightening before making up a few late lengths when running onto midfield from last (See report). |
| 9 | 12 | AMAZING KNIGHT (D266) | M Chadwick | P | Drifted back to second last after first furlong when racing away from the rail. Cornered 6.5L from the lead before making no headway into that margin & was never likely. |
| 10 | 2 | FOURAWARRIOR (E081) | Z Purton | -- | Crowded & unbalanced at start before being ridden along to improve position to midfield along rail. Hard ridden before straightening, entered last section 5L behind before weakening. (Irregular heart rhythm, lame next day). |
| 11 | 5 | SHADOW RUNNER (D463) | K C Leung | B/TT | Steadied after the start & shifted back to race just worse than midfield away from rail. Entered last section 7L behind before weakening in straight to be long second last. |
| 12 | 10 | SPLIT OF A SECOND (B027) | H N Wong | CP/H | Inconvenienced after start before shifting across down to the rail behind runners when near the tail. Continued a long way back approaching corner before weakening out poorly to be long last. |
