| 1 | 1 | SMART DECLARATION (S436) | B Prebble | SR/TT | Ridden to find cover, settling in one-off position four-back from leader. Began run 500m, taken to centre track on straightening, finished strongly to win close home. |
| 2 | 2 | GRACE HEART (S399) | O Doleuze | -- | Hard-ridden to hold fence 3L from leader. Closed in turning for home, came off fence 250m to pass tiring runner but caught close to the line. |
| 3 | 8 | BUDDY BUNDY (T157) | C Schofield | B/TT | Jumped well, hard ridden to hold fence inside pacemakers, gradually working to the front passing 600m. Kicked ahead entering straight but swamped final 50m. |
| 4 | 10 | FLYING FORCE (V014) | D Whyte | H/XB/TT | Jumped with field but outpaced, settling behind midfield along rail. Improved turning for home but no clear run up the straight and not properly tested concluding stages. |
| 5 | 3 | MR RIGHT (T334) | K C Leung | H/P | Pushed along three-wide from jump, racing outside leader before eased back to 3rd 600m but without cover. Kept on gamely to 100m before flattened. |
| 6 | 11 | OCEAN ROAR (N317) | K K Chiong | -- | Hard ridden to lead soon after jump but passed by another 600m taking the sit. Put under pressure turning for home, kept on well to 100 before tiring. |
| 7 | 12 | FIVE STARS AGENT (V001) | M L Yeung | H | Began well, restrained, shifted across behind runners, settling in one-off position towards rear. Switched out entering straight and ran on fairly. |
| 8 | 7 | GRACYDAD (V200) | T H So | H | Ridden didn't muster, dropping back last but one. Put under pressure on straightening, switched out abruptly 200m to get run, kept on fairly. |
| 9 | 9 | TOP BONUS (T132) | J Moreira | -- | Bumped start, pressed forward 4-wide outside pacemakers, but eased to 4th 800m. Bumped, unbalanced and taken wider 550m, widest into straight, one-paced. |
| 10 | 6 | GOLDEN SUN (V187) | G Lerena | TT1 | Slow into stride and distant last on settling. Trailed field to straight before running past beaten horses. |
| 11 | 5 | EXCEL ONESELF (P287) | H N Wong | H | Quickly out, sharing early pace before settling 5th, 2L from leader at 800m. Found little in straight and gave ground quickly. Irregular heart rhythm, substantial amount of mucus in trachea. |
| 12 | 4 | EASY TOUCH (V269) | Z Purton | TT1 | Jumped OK, rolled forward but hard to settle passing 600m. Shifted out 550m, still hard to settle and eased down, finishing tailed off. Unacceptable performance. |
