1 4 HAPPY GUYS (CL275) Z Purton B Pressed forward from a wide alley to cross to sit behind leader, enjoyed good trial to 400m, fought back underneath 2nd horse final 100m to score upset win.
2 3 DAN EXCEL (N195) J Lloyd SR/H1 Began well, a touch wide early before slotting into 1 out 1 back spot, had nice trip to bend, loomed like the winner passing 300m, kept on well but outlasted final 100m.
3 10 CARTHAGE (CL256) W M Lai SR/TT Out with rest, slotted in off pace in midfield, 5-6Ls back in running line, came wider and closed off well in straight to take place.
4 2 PACKING TYCOON (N010) G Mosse TT Angled into rearward spot from a wide alley, more than 10Ls from top end in 2 wide line, aided by tempo in mid section, closed off soundly in straight making good ground to make frame.
5 9 SAME WORLD (N098) D Whyte H/SR Unable to slot in and posted 3 and 4 wide without cover behind midfield, still 6Ls down turning, kept finding and closed well given workload to be on heels of place getters.
6 11 AOMEN (N008) M Du Plessis B Rolled forward and ended up leading, set reasonable sectionals in mid section, tackled at 300m, stayed on well thereafter just tiring late.
7 7 MILITARY ATTACK (N175) N Callan H/SR Began fairly, drove through to take ideal slot behind leader, all favours to bend, held up turning and in traffic to 300m, closed steadily once clear but a shade flat final furlong.
8 8 JAMESINA (CH290) K C Ng B/TT Standard getaway, raced in midfield 5ls back on rails, angled wider on turning, made some progress but didn't let down as usual final 200m and just held ground.
9 5 KING OF SCOTS (CK084) U Rispoli -- Assumed spot in rear division, 6ls or so away in two wide line, aided by decent sectional, made some progress in straight without threatening.
10 14 HORACE'S EMPIRE (N002) K C Leung -- No speed, raced in rear division on rails 8-9ls back, didn't use much in run, shifted wider in straight and closed gradually but lacked a turn of foot to figure.
11 1 LET ME HANDLE IT (CL287) O Doleuze -- Slow and taken back from a tricky gate, raced 2 and 3 wide at the rear 12Ls back, same margin back to bend, made only minor ground passed beaten runners.
12 13 OLE OLE (CK301) M L Yeung TT Fair getaway, positioned behind midfield, 8Ls or so from lead, not asked in mid section, one speed in straight and didn't factor.
13 12 BANKSTERS BONUS (N113) C W Wong B/SR Taken back from a wide alley, raced at rear on rails more than 12Ls off lead, well back turning, made no real impression.
14 6 HELENE FUN STAR (N105) T Clark SR Away smartly, took up prominent spot and ended up first without cover, right there to turn, gave in quickly and dropped right out.
