Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 2 | SUGAR SUGAR (G016) | H Bowman | B/TT | Jumped on terms, maintained a midfield position 4-5Ls back, saved ground on inside before running on strongly passing 300M, hit lead inside 100M and just held on from fast finishing 2nd late. |
| 2 | 9 | SWIFT ASCEND (H395) | A Atzeni | B/TT | Away swiftly, positioned just ahead of midfield, travelled well into straight before closing off nicely. Just missed. |
| 3 | 3 | DIVANO (J142) | Z Purton | TT | Bustled along after the start to be vying the lead on outside, wrestled the lead nearing 200M, fought hard late but couldn't hold off first two. |
| 4 | 4 | GUSTOSISIMO (J303) | Y L Chung | TT | Jumped only fairly, failed to show sufficient pace and ended up racing near the rear, 6Ls to make up 400M, ran on well in the straight to claim 4th. |
| 5 | 8 | BEAUTY INFINITY (H377) | B Avdulla | -- | Jumped only fairly, settled towards the rear, 5Ls off leader on straightening, closed off nicely for 5th. |
| 6 | 1 | SUPER JOY N FUN (J164) | C L Chau | XB/TT | From draw 12 switched off to race at the back, had big task in hand 400M, finished off best but not able to trouble leaders. (Jockey : Instructed to ride conservatively from wide draw and the anticipated fast pace.) |
| 7 | 5 | HAPPY FAT CAT (G166) | E C W Wong | CP-/TT | Chased leaders 2-wide, in a good spot top of straight but couldn't quicken enough to challenge leaders. |
| 8 | 12 | BITS SUPERSTAR (J362) | L Hewitson | CP-/PC1 | Settled down in mid-division, switched wide 450M, ran home one paced under pressure. |
| 9 | 10 | SCOTCH TYCOON (G088) | L Ferraris | B/TT | From draw 1 soon took up running, pressed by rival middle stages, lost lead nearing 200M, faded towards the line. (Jockey: disadvantaged by being pressured in the lead and as a consequence gave ground in the Home Straight.) |
| 10 | 6 | MAGNIAC (H141) | C Y Ho | B-/CP1/TT | Given a patient ride, restrained near last, brought wide into straight but made limited progress only. |
| 11 | 11 | SERGEANT PEPPER (E432) | M L Yeung | -- | Away well, chased leaders along the fence, kept on early straight but run ended 200M, no extra late stages. |
| 12 | 7 | HARMONY FIRE (E175) | H Bentley | CP/TT | Maintained a position ahead of midfield, didn't respond to riding in the straight, never involved. |
