Recap by phillip woo

Last Kingdom was hustled to lead, shook off a mid-race challenge from Splendour And Gold and kept on gamely to notch a first win at his 21 starts and first for his new trainer Douglas Whyte. Chefano rallied well after settling third last from a wide gate to grab second in deep stretch. It was a solid run on the back of an unsuitable pace. Favourite Perfect To Play had to settle for third in the end after a one-off run behind midfield. It was another genuine effort over this trip. All You Know ran on well down the outside after getting unbalanced 550m travelling fourth from the back. Splendour And Gold peaked on his run 150m out after taking off at the 850m to vie for the lead at the 550m. He's better at Sha Tin over the 1,800m. Stimulation folded mid-stretch after chasing the leader. He's still trying to find a bottom. Charity Go was twice impeded travelling along the fence in midfield. He's in the right grade but is best when allowed to bowl along in front.
