| 1 | 8 | FLAMING PASSION (E084) | M Chadwick | TT | Quickly into stride, track leader on settling, moved up swiftly from 250M, led 100M out, won cosily. |
| 2 | 12 | WINWIN THIRTYTHREE (C110) | C Wong | B | Away with them, held up in mid-division never far away, chased on well final 300M, went 2nd close home but too late to trouble winner. |
| 3 | 4 | HERO STAR (D033) | K C Leung | TT | Sent forward, emerged as leader 950M, going well early straight, caught by winner 100M out before weakened to 3rd. |
| 4 | 7 | FARIBAULT (D454) | K Teetan | CP | Began awkwardly, chased leaders keenly, moved up to 2nd home turn, kept on steadily in the run home but couldn't find the extra gear. (Jockey : horse would not relax early and middle stages.) |
| 5 | 11 | MELBOURNE HALL (D118) | M F Poon | XB | Switched off to race near the rear, moved closer nearing 400M, stayed on mildly on straightening, not reached leaders. |
| 6 | 2 | AURORA PEGASUS (C351) | B Shinn | H1/V1/TT | Obtained a midfield spot in midfield from the inside draw, bustled along 400M, ran home only fairly, no threat to leaders. |
| 7 | 9 | FORTUNE MASTER (D371) | C L Chau | B | Lost ground soon after the start when bumped into a rival, settled down at rear on inside, kept on same pace final 300M, made no impression. |
| 8 | 10 | IRON KING (C133) | Z Purton | TT | Not hurried early stages, got severely checked 900M, stumbled and shuffled back to the rear 3-wide, made no real progress in straight. (Blood trachea.) |
| 9 | 1 | PRETTY QUEEN PRAWN (E389) | L Ferraris | H/XB/TT | Steadied early stages on jumping from wide draw, caught in a 4-wide spot towards the rear, covered more ground than rivals, failed to respond turning home. |
| 10 | 5 | BALTIC WHISPER (B216) | A Hamelin | TT | Heavily restrained to sit in midfield 3-wide, gave little response on straightening, never dangerous. |
| 11 | 3 | EUROMISSILE (E277) | C Y Ho | CP/XB | Urged to chase leaders, pushed to a 3-wide spot without cover passing 900M, gave ground passing 250M, eased when well beaten. |
| 12 | 6 | BEAUTY CHEERS (D436) | A Badel | -- | Crowded for room at the start, in midfield further back than intended, 4-wide and no cover into straight, soon beaten. (Jockey concerned the manner his horse gave ground so quickly home turn.) |
