| 2 | 8 | SEASONS WIT (H223) | L Hewitson | B/TT | Caught racing wide no cover in midfield, made steady progress early straight but not finishing as well as the winner final 200M, bumped by that rival final stages. |
| 3 | 12 | PARENTS' LOVE (H405) | Y L Chung | H/TT | Driven forward and crossed to the lead passing 800M, opened up 2Ls lead early straight, no extra passing 100M, weakened to 3rd. |
| 4 | 5 | HEALTHY HEALTHY (H203) | K C Leung | B/TT | Away in line, settled down midfield 4Ls back, directed back to the fence for clear running passing 300M, kept on moderately just missed 3rd. |
| 5 | 3 | CELESTIAL COLOURS (H362) | H Bowman | V/TT | Jumped on terms, stayed close enough to leaders, ran on mildly from top of straight but not finishing as well as first few. (held up near 100M.) |
| 6 | 4 | SPORTS LEGEND (H456) | E C W Wong | B/TT | Quickly into stride, chased leader 2-wide, ran on one paced in the straight and was out-finished by pursuing rivals over final 200M. |
| 7 | 9 | SPARKLING FELLOW (K175) | B Avdulla | B | Jumped awkwardly and lost ground then taken back from draw 12, settled towards the rear 6Ls off leader, wide into straight before making limited progress over final 300M. |
| 8 | 7 | CASA OF HONOR (K310) | M F Poon | XB | Away in line, maintained a position ahead of midfield, in touch turning for home but found little when asked 300M, soon out of contention. (Jockey : lay out making the turns in the middle stages.) |
| 9 | 10 | STAR PERFORMER (K207) | K Teetan | -- | From wide draw taken across behind runners, in last spot well off the pace making the turn for home, made some progress final 300M without troubling leaders. |

| 11 | 2 | YOUTHFUL SPIRITS (J082) | L Ferraris | SR/V/TT | Intended to lead but not fast enough to hold out rival, tracked leader in a race run at even tempo, found disappointingly little passing 300M, faded final 200M. (Blood in trachea / Roarer.) |
| 12 | 11 | BASIC INSTINCT (K289) | M L Yeung | B | Pressed along on jumping from draw 1, lacked early pace and settled back towards the rear, found nothing passing 400M, weakened away. |
