1 1 DISCIPLES TWELVE (P018) C Y Ho -- Held up at rear 4Ls off the pace, responded well passing halfway, came from near last with an irresistible challenge, got up near line.
2 9 DANE PATROL (CL078) H N Wong -- Soon led along the stand's rail and took time along at good pace, kept on strongly under light weight only caught by fast finishing winner near line.
3 8 LOVELY DELOVELY (S022) C Y Lui B/H Began awkwardly, 2Ls back chasing leaders, switched to the rails near 300M for his run, closed well but raced in restricted room final 100M, would have been closer.
4 11 COUR VALANT (P190) A Suborics CP1 Towards the rear early stages, crept closer nearing halfway mark, ran on steadily for modest 4th.
5 3 SUPREME FALCON (P224) N Rawiller CP Reserved in midfield along the stand's side, took time to get going over this shorter trip, ran on well final stages making good late impression.
6 4 YOU READ MY MIND (P041) D Whyte XB Tracked the pace, loomed outside leader inside 400M but failed to sustain his run passing 200M.
7 6 SIGHT BELIEVER (P258) O Doleuze B/H Never far off from the pace but found just the same pace once let down, not reached leaders.
8 7 HIGH FIVE (T200) M Chadwick -- Raced handily just off the good early pace, lacked the necessary response when urged along passing halfway, kept on same speed to the finish.
9 5 CALIFORNIA BOUNTY (P222) K C Ng TT Sent forward pressing the pace but found little off the bridle, faded out of contention 250M.
10 2 MY LITTLE FRIEND (S010) Z Purton TT Held his position in mid-division throughout but could not find much to challenge leaders. (Jockey reported breathing issues may have attributed to the horse's poor performance)
11 10 SKY MAN (S091) U Rispoli -- Raced keenly early stages, settled down near the rear 4Ls off the pace, not picked up and left behind passing 400M.
12 14 GOOD LUCK BOY (S196) J Moreira B/TT1 Settled down behind midfield towards the center of track, badly outpaced from midway, eased when well beaten.
13 13 HAYMAKER (T054) Y T Cheng SR1 Niggled along to stay in touch, badly outpaced midway, soon beaten.
14 12 GENERAL IRON (P429) M L Yeung CP/TT In mid-division towards the center of track, outpaced halfway, weakened to last.
