| 1 | 4 | E BROTHER (E266) | S De Sousa | B/TT | Went to the lead, hard ridden in closing stages & dug deep to continue to hold a neck advantage on line. |
| 2 | 11 | E RAINBOW (G314) | M L Yeung | TT | Had a nice run on leaders back. Moved into clear running, tried hard all the way to the line but couldn't quite get to the leader/winner who won by a neck. |
| 3 | 1 | SAVVY DELIGHT (E386) | Z Purton | P/TT | Steadied soon after the start & raced in midfield along the rail. Moved into clear running soon after straightening, closed well all the way to line but couldn't get to leader. Only beaten a neck into third. |
| 4 | 7 | TIMESTORM (G109) | M F Poon | XB/TT | Steadied from outside barrier & cut across to race third last on rail. Improved slightly along the rail passing the 400m, shifted outwards into clear running mid-straight before closing strongly in concluding stages to 4th. |
| 5 | 5 | SIGHT HERO (D487) | L Hewitson | B/TT | Steadied nearing first bend & raced worse than midfield when three deep with cover. Continued wide around bend, swung to be the widest runner on straightening before making good late ground down the outside, only beaten 2L. |
| 6 | 6 | LYRICAL MOTION (G081) | C Y Ho | TT | Raced in midfield away from the rail but then lost position slightly passing the 500m. Had clear running on straightening & finished off steadily to midfield without threatening. |
| 7 | 12 | SUNNY AND GOLD (D177) | R Maia | B/TT | Was wide at the first bend & then steadied & taken back to last. Stayed along the inside on cornering when second last before making some late ground to run onto midfield from the tail. |
| 8 | 3 | HARMONY N HOME (C531) | K Teetan | -- | Ridden along from gate 11 but was racing very wide around the first bend before being posted three deep without cover in midfield throughout. Was wide on straightening but made no headway & was never likely after wide trip. |
| 9 | 2 | STOICISM (E223) | Y L Chung | B/TT | Showed early speed, was three wide at the first bend before improving to race two wide & outside the leader from the 800m. Dropped a length behind the lead near the 500m, weakened out in the straight to be beaten 4.5L. |
| 10 | 9 | VANTASTIC CHOICE (G401) | A Badel | -- | Raced outside the leader early before being crossed & racing 1,1 from the 800m. Eased wider just prior to straightening, peaked on effort mid-straight before weakening out in last furlong. |
| 11 | 8 | CRAIG'S MASTER (G440) | K C Leung | SR1/TT | Steadied after the start & taken back to second last. Was relegated to last near the 400m mark, swung wider on cornering, never really ran on & was beaten over 5L. |
| 12 | 10 | OUR CLASS ACT (E303) | M Chadwick | H | Raced in midfield between runners before being shuffled back & relegated to third last near the 400m. Didn't have much room in final 100m but was too far back to be involved & failed to beat a rival home. |
