Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 4 | AKEED MOFEED (P125) | D Whyte | SR-/XB1 | Dropped back from a tricky draw but unable to find slot in running line, raced 3 wide with cover 5ls back, travelled well and moved into race strongly turning, put paid to rivals swiftly and ran away to win easily. |
| 2 | 5 | KYARA (L423) | W M Lai | H/XB | Ended up in rearward spot as usual, 6-7ls back on fence, helped by strong speed t top end, came home strongly down middle final 300m to take 2nd, no match for winner. |
| 3 | 7 | WRATH OF FIRE (L420) | T Angland | -- | Positioned just behind midfield 5ls away on rails, aided by solid pace on, improved between horses turning, produced usual honest close to take a place. |
| 4 | 1 | BEAUTY LEAD (N209) | M Chadwick | TT | Began well and assumed ideal position 1out 1 back, good trip in transit although speed was decent, made run with eventual winner but peaked at 200m. |
| 5 | 13 | EMPEROR CLAUDIUS (M128) | T H So | P/XB | Showed good speed to cross and lead, set a genuine tempo in front, 1l clear turning but soon tackled, kept on ok given work. |
| 6 | 9 | KING OF SCOTS (CK084) | R Fourie | -- | Out in line and held a spot just off pace on rails, 3-4ls back throughout, clear running presented at 400m but just had one speed and stayed on fairly to line. |
| 7 | 3 | HOT SHOT (L289) | C Y Lui | TT | Began with usual purpose but elected for a trail, travelled well on leaders back but did do share of work with decent sections, produced to challenge turning in but didn't go on final 300m. |
| 8 | 12 | BLAZING SPEED (P192) | C Y Ho | -- | Landed a spot in midfield, 4ls or so back in running line, travelled well to bend, unable to close off when produced and just held ground in straight. |
| 9 | 14 | NAVEL ORANGE (P035) | M L Yeung | B | Tucked into spot behind midfield 5ls back, raced 2 wide inside eventual winner turning, lacked a pickup at 400m and didn't close off at business end. |
| 10 | 2 | SILVER GRECIAN (L323) | W C Marwing | H2/XB2/TT | Raced behind midfield 6ls or so back, aided by decent speed, still had job to do turning, lacked usual close and just maintained 1 speed in straight. |
| 11 | 6 | TAKNAM (M096) | U Rispoli | B | Dropped back to rear as is customary, 8ls or more off top end, suited by tempo, lacked usual finish in straight and passed only tired horses late. |
| 12 | 10 | CHATER DREAM (P117) | T Clark | -- | Wide early and pressed on to race outside leader, did share of work with strong sections early, niggled turning and dropped off tamely from 400m. |
| 13 | 8 | FREE JUDGEMENT (M163) | Y T Cheng | -- | Settled at rear more than 8ls back, suited by fast pace, well back turning and never really produced a finish. (see racing incidents jockey reported restricted action) |
| 14 | 11 | GENKI TWINS (N223) | K C Leung | XB | Unable to slot in and forced to race 3 wide without cover in midfield, did plenty of work 5ls back and began weakening turning, dropped off badly and was disappointing despite wide run. |
