Recap by phillip woo
Early favourite Holy Unicorn was much too good after being well rated on the lead from a wide gate. He's improved following a stable change and connections might have some fun with him this season. The Joy Of Giving got up in the final stride for second sitting one off in third. He had put the writing on the wall in a few runs late last season at this level. Wonderful Chaser came up one-paced in the last 100m after moving to second at one point following a prominent run. He was fitter for an opening day run and the gate helped. Proud Sky made some ground following a handy run. He too was fitter for a run but is more effective over the 1,800m at Sha Tin. Wealthy Fortune finished well down the outside after settling second from the rear. Old-timer rarely produces a bad run but needs the sting out of the ground. Post-time favourite Eastern Prowess failed to build on a pleasing effort last Wednesday when failing to run on from near the back.
