Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 6 | BEAUTY GLORY (E459) | Y L Chung | CP/H/TT | Led uncontested, kept responding to pressure in straight, gamely fought off challengers on both sides to score. |
| 2 | 2 | GRATEFUL HEART (D278) | A Atzeni | CP-/B1/TT | Jumped well from draw 1, restrained to race ahead of midfield, briefly held up early straight, tried hard to reel in the leader final 200M, just denied. |
| 3 | 7 | SWEET BRIAR (H044) | L Hewitson | B/TT | Jumped awkwardly, settled down in 4th, ran on well final 300M, nearest finish. |
| 4 | 1 | LIGHTNING BOLT (G130) | Z Purton | TT | Chased leader, had every chance from 350M but always held. |
| 5 | 11 | JUMBO FORTUNE (G195) | K Teetan | PC/XB | Not hurried early stages, dropped back to race behind midfield, stayed on over final 300M, no serious threat to first few. |
| 6 | 10 | READY TO WIN (E422) | M Chadwick | CP/XB/TT | From wide draw moved up to chase leader, battled on one paced turning home, no longer a threat mid-straight. |
| 7 | 4 | SEIZING THE MOMENT (E444) | B Avdulla | PC-/B2 | Away with them, restrained in midfield along the fence, not going the pace to challenge in straight, always held by leaders. |
| 8 | 5 | STORM LEGEND (G139) | A Badel | -- | Crowded at the start, dropped back to near the rear, gave limited response turning for home, ran past beaten horses only. |
| 9 | 8 | YOUTH POWER (H358) | K C Leung | -- | Jumped on terms, settled down 2-wide in mid-division, overraced mid-stages, failed to pick up speed on straightening, never reach contention. |
| 10 | 9 | LUCKY GOR (G217) | L Ferraris | B/E/TT | Jumped well, restrained to a midfield position along the 3-path, raced keenly, couldn't go on passing 350M. (Jockey questioned re his riding tactics.) |
| 11 | 3 | KIMBERLEY (H329) | L Currie | B/TT | Jumped awkwardly, crowded for room, ended up racing near the rear, scrubbed along home turn but gave no response, never in the picture. |
| 12 | 12 | E UNIVERSE (H151) | M L Yeung | TT | Fractious in the stalls, lost ground as the start was effected, raced at the back throughout, never involved. (Afforded a fair start in the opinion of Stewards.) |
