Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 1 | SUPER FRESH (N194) | W C Marwing | P-/B1 | Speared forward from the outside alley, crossed and led along the paint after the 800m. Made every post a winner thereafter recording a sound win. |
| 2 | 4 | GOLDEN BAUHINIA (CK123) | Z Purton | B | Parked in 2nd position outside the leader, no cover. Ranged up at the furlong and fought gamely but was out gunned over the final stages. |
| 3 | 3 | FLASHING GUY (CL158) | A Suborics | CP/TT | Raced on the speed but was trapped 3 wide without cover for most of the trip. Loomed up near the 200m but faded over the final stages. |
| 4 | 10 | SECRET OF WINNING (CK205) | K C Ng | B-/H-/TT- | Couldn't go the early speed of the race, camped midfield. Was inclined to race a little keenly near the 600m, closed of moderately to make the frame. |
| 5 | 9 | CHINA GOOD (CL258) | H W Lai | SR | Jumped well then was steadied and parked behind midfield 2 deep with cover. Got a nice cart into the race and finished off fairly. |
| 6 | 6 | AMBASSADORSHIP (N217) | C K Tong | H | Crowded at the start & raced in last position along the fence. Kept to the inside turning for home but only plodded to the wire. |
| 7 | 7 | FORTUNE TERRITORY (N272) | M L Yeung | B/TT | Slow to begin & travelled at the rear of the field, 2-3 deep with cover. Was one paced in the home straight. |
| 8 | 5 | SOUTHCHINA CENTURY (N285) | C Y Ho | -- | Enjoyed a nice run in the race tracking the early speed on the rails. Failed to find any extra in the run home. |
| 9 | 8 | HEARTLAND (M332) | B Prebble | B2 | Ridden along early but only managed to take up a position ahead of midfield. Settled 4 wide early no cover, got a trailing position after the 500m, but was a spent force early in the straight. |
| 10 | 2 | FRIENDS OF YAN OI (M406) | O Doleuze | TT | Not the best away then had no luck and was trapped at least 4 deep on the circle, travelling towards the rear. Was running on empty over the final 100m. Post-race examination showed a substantial amount of mucopus in the trachea. |
| 11 | 11 | TAKE THE RAP (CL369) | W M Lai | SR/TT | Never likely after being posted back in the field 4-5 wide without cover for most of the trip. |
