Recap by phillip woo

Carrying roll-up money, Victoriam just held off favourite Winning Method after hitting the front 150m out following a wide and without cover run near the speed to cap a brilliant night for jockey Zac Purton and trainer Francis Liu Kin-wai. Victoriam keeps raising his game for a third win from four starts despite a rise in class. Winning Method rallied furiously from just worse than midfield to make it close on the wire. He's really thrived with a switch to the Valley 1,200m this season. Team Spirit had enough left in the tank to just hold third after giving a cheeky sight in front at massive odds. It was a nice effort in his first try over the Valley 1,200m. Encore Boy kept plugging away to just miss third following a one-out, one-back. He rarely produces a bad run. Shining Ace left things too late with a move near the inside following a rail run behind midfield. It was another honest effort over this favourite trip carrying top weight.
