Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
| 1 | 1 | DIVANO (J142) | J McDonald | TT | Fast into stride and held position just off the lead on settling, moved up stylishly to take lead 350M and was strong through the line under top weight. Held on from fast finishing 2nd late. |
| 2 | 13 | LIFELINE EXPRESS (H439) | A Atzeni | E | Travelled well in midfield along the inside, worked into the race nicely, did best work final 200M to just go under. |
| 3 | 9 | RIGHTEOUS ARION (H059) | Y L Chung | TT | Settled ahead of midfield early stages, moved up to chase leader home turn, went 2nd 200M, chased on solidly to be nearest at the line. |
| 4 | 5 | ROMANTIC SON (J537) | Z Purton | CP- | In touch, close 5th at 400M, tried hard but lacked a big enough kick, always held by leaders. |
| 5 | 10 | VICTORY SKY (J540) | K C Leung | XB | Jumped awkwardly and lost ground, recovered to race behind midfield, stuck on well from top of straight but could not quite crack the top four. |
| 6 | 8 | KNOW AT HEART (K108) | M Chadwick | -- | Jumped only fairly, dropped back to race towards the rear 7Ls back, stayed on final 400M although not troubling leaders. Passable debut. |
| 7 | 6 | THUNDER PRINCE (K017) | B Avdulla | TT | Taken back from draw 14 and settled near last, some 5Ls to make up 400M but offered little in the run home. |
| 8 | 2 | SOLID IMPACT (E447) | A Badel | CP | Jumped on terms, reserved in midfield along the 3-path, lacked the turn of foot to capitalise over final 300M, got home only fairly. |
| 9 | 14 | PHOENIX LIGHT (G192) | B Thompson | H | Settled midfield but couldn't get closer than 3-wide, couldn't keep going 250M and was easily accounted for. |
| 10 | 4 | BEAUTY VIVA (K155) | L Hewitson | -- | From a wide draw guided to a 3-wide position towards the rear, 4.5L off the pace 400M, lacked the dash to be competitive. |
| 11 | 3 | MATTERS MOST (K154) | C L Chau | TT | Began only fairly, moved up to settle in midfield along the 2-path, 3Ls off leader 400M but found little when it mattered. |
| 12 | 7 | TIMES TABLE (J230) | L Ferraris | P1 | Jumped only fairly, ended up in last spot 8Ls off the pace, brought to wide outside on straightening but failed to run on. |
| 13 | 11 | HARMONY FIRE (E175) | P N Wong | CP/TT | Sent forward under 10lb claimer, raced keenly in the lead throughout the early stages, headed 350M, compounded under pressure and gave ground. |
| 14 | 12 | MAGNIAC (H141) | M L Yeung | CP-/V2/TT | Caught wide no cover chasing leaders, emptied passing 300M weakened rapidly. (Jockey concerned with his mount's action in the Home Straight when it gave ground / No Vet findings.) |
