| 1 | 9 | MR COOL (K184) | K Teetan | TT | Bumped at the start, from draw 11 obtained a position behind midfield, out into clear 300M then closed off strongly to lead 50M from home. Won in pleasing style. |
| 2 | 4 | ETALON OR (J273) | A Badel | B/TT- | Bumped at the start, dropped back to the rear from a wide draw, had some work to do top of straight then closed off fastest final 400M to take 2nd in a busy finish. |
| 3 | 7 | SHAMUS STORM (K031) | L Hewitson | -- | Towards the rear, raced keenly early stages, made good progress over final 350M to take 3rd. (Jockey : instructed to ride his mount in a conservative manner in the early stages to allow the horse to finish off.) |
| 4 | 11 | RAGING RAPIDS (J228) | H Bowman | TT | Settled down midfield from draw 2, pushed along 500M, responded fairly well early straight and looked one of the winning hopes mid-straight, kept on steadily closing stages for a respectable 4th. |
| 5 | 6 | ROMAN CROWN (J456) | B Avdulla | B/TT | Never far off from leaders, in 5th place entering home turn and looked to be travelling well passing 400M, driven to lead mid-straight but run ended close home and lost several places near line. |
| 6 | 1 | MIGHTY STEED (J384) | Y L Chung | -- | Travelled in a midfield position along the 2-path, fought hard under a big weight in the straight but couldn't quite match for leaders in the closing stages. |

| 8 | 8 | CELESTIAL PATCH (K151) | A Atzeni | XB1/TT | Held up towards the rear in a fast run race, 10Ls off the pace at one point, raced greenly in the straight and proved difficult to ride, stayed on final 400M without posing threat to leaders. |
| 9 | 3 | FUN TOGETHER (H041) | P N Wong | CP/TT | Went forward from draw 14 and pressed leader on outside in a fast run race, briefly led early straight, caught nearing 200M, no extra late stages. |
| 10 | 13 | ALWAYS MY FOLKS (J345) | B Thompson | H | Chased leaders in a race run at good tempo, kept on same pace early straight, unable to sustain run over final 200M. |
| 11 | 2 | KA YING SUPERB (J091) | M F Poon | H/XB | Made early use to hold the lead and was disadvantaged by being pressured by a rival, struggled to keep up 350M, weakened towards the line. |
| 12 | 5 | AUTUMN VIBES (K150) | Z Purton | SB/TT | Jumped awkwardly, ended up at the rear racing keenly early stages, waited with on the inside, held up 350-250M behind a weakening rival then failed to respond under soft riding. (Jockey questioned re his vigour from near the 200M.) |
| 13 | 14 | SPORTIC WARRIOR (J385) | H T Mo | H- | Held up in mid-division, raced keenly middle stages, failed to respond on straightening, soon left behind by rivals. |
