1 8 DIAMOND KNIGHT (CK311) K C Leung XB Never far off the pace on stands' rail early. Ridden 400M and powered clear final furlong. Easy.
2 13 DANE PATROL (CL078) Y T Cheng B/TT Led on stands' rail early. Overhauled by the winner final 300M. Gave plenty to snatch 2nd late on.
3 11 KING OF THE DAY (CL324) G Cheyne -- One-off the stands' rail behind the leader early. Hit front briefly 400M but no answer to winner's acceleration. Hung on for 2nd until final strides.
