Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 9 | SUN TROOPER (CK028) | Z Purton | B | Broke well, raced outside the leader about 1/2L back near the Rock. Ready to strike on turning, hit front 300 M out. Was never in doubt thereafter. |
| 2 | 6 | MR COOL (CD071) | K C Leung | B/TT | Quickly into stride and raced behind the leaders early stages. 3Ls off at the Rock. In prominent spot behind the lead turning in. Outclassed by the winner in the straight and gave plenty to hold its position in the quinella. |
| 3 | 3 | SILENT DRAGON (CG200) | M L Yeung | CP/XB | Slow into stride. Pressed hard early, caught wide and without cover in a forward spot. 2Ls off rounding the turn. Fought on gamely in the straight and just missed 2nd. |
| 4 | 5 | CLASSIC NAVIGATOR (CD330) | E Saint-Martin | TT | Jumped nicely, settled 2-wide, 4Ls behind speed at 600 M. Shifted out for clear running in the straight. Kept on well and barely missed a minor placing. |
| 5 | 7 | TEAM WORK (CH276) | O Doleuze | B | Fair start. Urged along the rails in the early stages. Settled 3Ls back making the home turn. Unable to see daylight in the straight and was not fully tested. |
| 6 | 8 | SHY BALDY (CH168) | D Beadman | TT | Well enough away. Driven forward and raced 2-wide 2Ls off at 600 M. Travelled nicely on straightening but couldn't pull out the extra final 100 M. |
| 7 | 1 | CONFUCIUS CLASSIC (CJ141) | J Winks | XB | Began in line and eased to the rear. Improved at the bend and was 4-wide turning in. Ran on fairly to make up minor ground in the straight. |
| 8 | 2 | GOOD TO GO (CH096) | D Whyte | B/TT | Away with them from a wide draw. Took a spot slightly worse than midfield 3-wide with cover. Steadied at 600 M. Took time to find daylight in the straight but showed little dash when cleared. |
| 9 | 11 | MEGA HILL (CJ336) | W M Lai | B | Jumped fairly and clipped heels shortly afterwards. Hard ridden on rails 1000 M out to keep touch with the field but failed to muster. No progress in straight. |
| 10 | 4 | KINDACROSS (CG041) | M Chadwick | XB/TT | Amongst first to jump. Took lead on rails 700 M out. Travelled nicely round the bend but faded quickly in the straight. (Irregular Heart Rhythm.) |
| 11 | 10 | SUNSHINE BOY (CJ281) | S K Sit | XB/CP1 | Soon to trail field. Always at rear. Never a factor. |
