Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 13 | I GIVE (H036) | Y L Chung | -- | Went forward, emerged as leader passing 900M, pressed by rival for the lead early straight, appeared to be giving way 200M but was resilient late to regain the lead close home. |
| 2 | 8 | KA YING WARRIOR (H028) | Z Purton | H-/XB | Raced keenly tracking leader, looked good when making his challenge 300M, gained narrow lead mid-straight but couldn't sustain effort, caught late. (Jockey : did not respond well under pressure due to inexperience.) |
| 3 | 3 | DREAM PURSUER (G241) | H Bowman | -- | Settled behind midfield, 4Ls to make up top of straight, ran on well to take 3rd, nearest finish. |
| 4 | 2 | PINS PRINCE (G013) | B Avdulla | H/P/TT | Caught 3-wide chasing leaders, kept on steadily under pressure, got up for non-threatening 4th close home. |
| 5 | 1 | WIDE BLUE YONDER (G323) | L Hewitson | B/TT | Held up midfield along the fence, responded mildly to pressure on straightening, kept on but posed no serious threat to first 3. |
| 6 | 4 | PODIUM (H173) | C Y Ho | XB/B1 | Positioned ahead of midfield, saved ground on inside, moved within striking distance passing 400M, could not find more passing 200M and evened out late stages. |
| 7 | 6 | SUNLIGHT POWER (H244) | K De Melo | -- | Jumped awkwardly, ended up near last, came wide home turn, hung in when placed under pressure in straight, made moderate progress towards the line. |
| 8 | 7 | HAPPY TRIO (G244) | H Bentley | B | From wide draw moved forward, chased leaders in a 3-wide spot without cover, fought hard to hold his position early straight before giving way 200M. |
| 9 | 11 | GO GO GO (H196) | A Atzeni | H/TT | Settled down 3-wide in mid-division, came under pressure 600M, couldn't accelerate enough, never a threat to leaders. |
| 10 | 5 | SEE U AGAIN (G247) | K Teetan | -- | Had a good position tracking the leading pair, battled on same pace turning for home, lost touch with leaders mid-straight, no extra late stages. |
| 11 | 10 | PERFECT PEACH (E488) | M Chadwick | B/H/TT | Pushed along early on, stumbled 1100M and lost ground, towards the rear making the turn for home, made little progress throughout the straight. |
| 12 | 14 | CURLING SPEED (H015) | M L Yeung | -- | Taken back to a rearward position in the beginning, had to be eased 350M when crowded for room, responded only fairly over final 300M. Never dangerous. |
| 13 | 12 | DIAMOND FOREVER (H194) | A Badel | -- | Reserved in last, couldn't go on passing 400M. Never in the picture. |
| 14 | 9 | MARVEL DRAGON (D111) | C L Chau | TT | Pushed along early stages, unable to slot in and always racing wide towards the rear, faded in the straight. |
