Recap by phillip woo

Favourite Fabulous One pinged the start, cornered two lengths clear and kept up a strong gallop to make it four straight wins. He's heading places. Punted late, Amazing Kids settled second from the rear, improved to have four behind him rounding the final bend with one wider out and finished willingly to grab second 30m out. Plunged late, Bullish Friend went forward from a wide gate to find the fence in second, stayed near the inside upon straightening and kept on reasonably well to hold down a placing. Secret Command ran on steadily following a rail's run in midfield to just wear down Jetwings for a Quartet spot. Friends Of Ka Ying made some ground along the inside after travelling fifth from the rear. Born In China only plodded over the last 150m following a deep run travelling fore of midfield. Harrier Jet was one-paced following a deep run beyond midfield with cover.
