Recap by phillip woo
Jumping and running from gate one, Happy Meteor held off the late surge of Star Of Yan Oi after repelling a stiff challenge from Joyful Moments from the 300m to remain unbeaten twice on this surface under the crucial 10-pound claim of Matthew Poon Mingfai. He might be able to give a sight off a light weight up in class. Star Of Yan Oi got going late following a rails run fore of midfield to make it close on the wire. He remains one to follow on this surface. Joyful Moments stalked the speed and wouldn't go down without a fight. He's found the dirt to his liking but may need a stronger rider. Happy Journey closed off well after travelling fourth from the rear but does find it harder at this level. Deja Vu kept on all right after a deep run in midfield. He's better when guided by the fence. Arizona Blizzard made some ground late without menacing from near the back. He might be worth a try over the mile now. Super Man was never on the track from a wide gate and can be forgiven for this run.
