Recap by phillip woo
Early favourite Super Hong Kong ran on nicely to grab victory 50m out after taking closer order from near the rear 700m out to park behind midfield coming to the final bend. He was scoring for the first time at his 10th start here but had put the writing on the wall with fourths in his opening two runs this term. Success Allstars finished strongly to grab Wah May Luck for second in the closing stages after getting hampered back to near last rounding the final bend. He's the likely winner with unimpeded running. Wah May Luck found a couple too good after getting all favours in the box seat. He proved a placing last start following a downgrade was not a fluke. Punted late Incredible weakened late after setting good fractions early on leading from a wide draw. He proved a win last start at Sha Tin wasn't a one-off performance. Post-time favourite This Is Charisma kept running into traffic issues along the inside in the stretch drive after a rails run behind midfield. He clearly had an excuse. Diamond Star ran on all right near the inside after a patient ride third last from the widest draw. He's close to a win but is better suited over the longer straight at Sha Tin. Tailor Made found nothing after getting posted deep without cover for the first 400m travelling midfield from an awkward gate. He's in the right grade now.
