| Placing | Horse No |
Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 7 | LA CITY BLANCHE (G371) | M Chadwick | TT | Reserved in midfield, pressed along near 600M, still had some ground to make up top of straight, showed good stamina and dug deep to get home narrowly. (Trainer : advantaged by being stepped up in distance.) |
| 2 | 4 | FIVE G PATCH (G286) | H Bentley | TT | Held up in midfield along the 2-path, travelled best of all home turn, let down well on straightening, led 180M, just couldn't hold off winner late stages. |
| 3 | 11 | UNBELIEVABLE (J130) | K C Leung | -- | Settled ahead of midfield in a fast run race, moved up to 3rd 1000M, loomed behind leader top of straight, briefly led 200M but was outstayed by first two late stages. |
| 4 | 5 | MOMENTS IN TIME (H474) | Y L Chung | TT | Sent forward to the lead, pressed by rival on outside setting fast pace early and middle stages, driven 500M and maintained lead until mid-straight, no extra closing stages. |
| 5 | 10 | NATURAL STORM (C461) | A Hamelin | B | Reserved near last over 10Ls off leader in a fast run race, swung widest for home and had plenty to do 400M, made limited progress only. |
| 6 | 12 | TURIN MASCOT (H165) | K Teetan | PC/TT | Settled in second half of the field 9-10Ls off the fast pace, failed to find much from 500M and got to the line only fairly. Never in the picture. |
| 7 | 1 | RUSSIAN EMPEROR (E198) | H Bowman | SR | From wide draw taken back, given a waiting ride in last over 10Ls off the fast pace, had task in hand 400M and never looked likely, ran past beaten horses in the run home. (Lame RF leg.) |
| 8 | 2 | MONEY CATCHER (G171) | M F Poon | V | Tracked the pace setting duo, 5Ls away middle stages, under the pump 700M, couldn't keep up passing 250M, fell away sharply. |
| 9 | 6 | RUNNING GLORY (G010) | B Thompson | B/TT | Jumped only fairly, reserved towards the rear in fast run race, plenty to do 400M but couldn't muster any sort of challenge in the straight. |
| 10 | 9 | KA YING GENERATION (J075) | A Atzeni | PC | Vied for lead on outside setting fast pace, came under pressure 800M, no extra top of straight and weakened. (Jockey : may have been better suited by obtaining cover in middle stages.) |
| 11 | 3 | SENOR TOBA (G103) | C Y Ho | B/TT | Settled behind midfield, little change at the turn but came up empty on straightening, finished tailed out. (Unacceptable Performance.) |
