| 1 | 9 | DENFIELD (G471) | C Y Ho | TT | Settled third last after start. Moved three wide near 600m bend, was four wide & improving from the 500m, was widest on straightening before sprinting quickly to charge to lead at 150m & win impressively (blood in trachea). |
| 2 | 10 | JOY COMING (H149) | L Hewitson | CP/TT | Had a nice run in midfield on the rail. Moved away from the rail when improving between runners at the 400m, passed quickly by winner at the 175m before improving to second soon after & holding that placing by over a length. |
| 3 | 12 | OUR CLASS ACT (E303) | H Bentley | H | Raced in midfield along the rail. Stayed along the rail on straightening before working home steadily to move to well beaten third in final 50m. |
| 4 | 2 | MEGA BONUS (E184) | Y L Chung | V-/CP2 | Pushed forward from gate 10, disputed lead early before improving to outright lead near the 1000m & then crossing to the rail near the 700m. Battled hard until passed quickly by winner at 150m before caught for third late. |
| 5 | 3 | TRAVEL GOLF (H063) | M Chadwick | TT | Steadied & taken back to last. Was a clear last on cornering when still a fair way off the lead before shifting outwards at the 175m and making some late ground to finish in a well beaten midfield placing. |
| 6 | 7 | RED DESERT (C287) | A Hamelin | B- | Showed speed to dispute the lead early before being headed near the 1000m & then eventually crossed near the 700m & racing on the leaders back thereafter. Just battled away until giving a few lengths in final 100m. |
| 7 | 5 | TELECOM SPIRIT (G310) | K Teetan | B | Steadied & taken back to race near the tail. Shifted wider on the track on straightening when still rearward before passing a couple of tiring rivals when running onto well beaten midfield finish out wider on the track. |
| 8 | 4 | LIKE THAT (D328) | K C Leung | V | Raced prominently after the start before steadied at the 1000m & racing third before being crossed & racing 1,1 from about 650m. Was pushed wider on straightening but didn't do much in the straight, giving ground to midfield. |
| 8 | 6 | GOLDEN LUCK (H159) | Z Purton | XB/TT | Was trapped racing wide without cover around first bend before improving position to get outside the leader from 650m. Was crowded near the 150m when still close to lead before not tested late (rider questioned see report). |
| 10 | 1 | SIGHT HERO (D487) | M Dee | B/TT | Raced in midfield between runners throughout. Lost a length around 500m bend before entering last section 4.5L from lead. Had no clear galloping room in last 100m but was a long well off the lead at that stage (roarer again). |
| 11 | 11 | MILLENNIUM FALCON (D281) | C L Chau | TT | Was trapped racing wide in midfield but had cover early before being left without cover form about the 650m. Was beaten before straightening & weakened to be a long second last. |
| 12 | 8 | CALL ME MIGHTY (G464) | H W Lai | B/H/TT1 | Got back to worse than midfield before being relegated to third last near 750m when along rail. Stayed close to the inside on straightening when 6L behind before weakening poorly in the straight, long last (blood in trachea). |
