Recap by phillip woo
Raging favourite Born In China has really settled into Hong Kong now after coming on strongly with clear running five deep at the 350m to take control 10m out for a second straight win. Lucky Double Eight settled behind midfield along the rail, rushed to the front 50m out and found one too smart in the end. You Read My Mind led as expected from gate one, cornered near two lengths on top and grudgingly gave way carrying top weight. All Great Friends travelled keenly one-out, one-back, straightened four deep and ran on steadily to fill a Quartet spot. Country Melody came up one-paced over the final 150m following a box-seat run. Bullish Friend was giving ground 150m out after stalking the leader one off the fence. Happy Yeah Yeah kept on evenly following rail's run in midfield. Pablosky didn't have much left in the tank 200m out after a prominent run without cover. Giant Turtle was never involved after missing the kick.
