| 1 | 5 | DREAM COME TRUE (B269) | Z Purton | -- | Showed early speed to stride to the lead after 150m. Raced a length clear on cornering before racing 2 lengths clear inside final 250m. Got a little tired near line but had enough in hand. |
| 2 | 6 | FAIRY TWINS (V222) | H N Wong | TT | Obtained trailing position just worse than midfield on rail. Moved away from the rail at the 450m before cornering 4.5L from lead. Made good headway in final 250m but winner was too far clear. |
| 3 | 1 | TELECOM PUMA (C181) | C Wong | TT | Began fairly before mustering early speed to race behind leading pair. Under 2 lengths behind the winner on cornering and finished off soundly in the straight. |
| 4 | 8 | MEGA HEART (A148) | M Harley | XB/TT | Crowded after the start and subsequently raced at the rear of the field, conceding 6 lengths after the first section. Stayed close to the rail on cornering before shifting in at the 225m when making good late ground. |
| 5 | 7 | SPECIAL STARS (C010) | J Moreira | -- | Began well before sliding across to midfield away from the rail. Strode closer passing the 450m, before cornering 2.5L from lead. Peaked on run inside final 100m. |
| 6 | 2 | CALIFORNIA ARGENT (C042) | K Teetan | H/TT | Ridden forward after the start to gain midfield position on the rail. Hard ridden past 400m before shifting wider on cornering, 3L form lead. Peaked on run after straightening, and yielded a length or two late. |
| 7 | 4 | VICTORY MACHINE (V358) | M F Poon | B/TT | Hampered after the start & subsequently raced worse than midfield away from the rail. Five lengths form the lead at half-way, before being forced wider near the 450m. Cornered very wide and made no ground in straight. |
| 8 | 9 | VERY RICH MAN (V286) | H T Mo | H | Began fast & strode forward to dispute lead in early stages before settling 0.5L from lead at half-way. Ridden up on cornering to keep in touch with leader before peaking in straight & giving ground in last furlong. |
| 9 | 10 | FLYING TIGER HERO (C119) | T H So | -- | Crowded and lost ground at the start and consequently raced at the rail. Continued to race rearward and conceded 7 lengths entering the final section, failed to make up any ground in the straight |
