1 4 DECISIVE TWELVE (D280) A Badel TT Soon emerged as the leader, had uncontested lead, kicked on strongly final 250M, well in control 150M from home to win by dominant margin.
2 11 SMILING CITY (D113) M L Yeung CP/SR Chased the pace set by eventual winner, tried hard in straight but couldn't close the gap on the winner, fought on to the line to hold 2nd.
3 2 TRANSCENDENT (D126) C L Chau CP/TT Eased back to race at the rear, 6Ls to make up 400M, driven and closed off well over final 250M to go 3rd, not reached winner.
4 3 THE RUNNER (D042) K C Leung -- Never far off from the pace, shoved along 500M, closed off only moderately for a non-threatening 4th.
5 9 MERIDIAN GENIUS (C067) M F Poon -- Niggled along at the rear, saved ground along the fence, made some progress passing 300M but never a serious threat to leaders.
6 6 HARRIER JET (T372) V Borges B Up with leaders early stages, reigned back to sit in mid-division, ran home one-paced, out of contention 200M.
7 7 LUCKY QUALITY (D050) C Schofield -- Jumped well, soon switched off to race towards the rear, swung widest from 400M, ran past beaten horses in the straight. No impression on leaders.
8 12 TELECOM ROCKET (C137) K Teetan B Restrained in a position behind midfield, 4Ls to make up turning home, ran on fairly final 300M, never reached leaders.
9 10 VITRALITE (E121) C Y Ho XB From wide draw dropped back for cover, settled 3-wide towards the rear, failed to finish off.
10 5 GOOD HEALTH (E159) A Hamelin CP1 Began fairly, strode forward to track leader, lacked further response from 300M, weak in the finish.
11 8 RHAPSODY (D120) J Moreira -- From wide draw caught wide no cover in midfield early stages, strolled closer to pace passing 800M, no extra 200M from home, weakened to last.
