Recap by phillip woo
Russian Emperor quickened nicely near the inside to take control passing the 300m after a patient ride one from the rear. It was his first win in Hong Kong but he had been knocking on the door in his past two starts and seemed to relish the wet ground. Savvy Nine stayed on well to finish a clear-cut second after a prominent run along the fence. It was a huge run despite performing off an equal-rating low at level weights. Firming to start at very short odds, Golden Sixty came from last to finish a non-threatening third. He didn't seem to handle the wet going. Tourbillon Diamond ran on steadily to fill the frame after a rails run behind midfield. It was another honest performance. More Than This ran on without threatening after getting shuffled to have only a few behind him turning the final bend. He doesn't quite get the trip. Zebrowski didn't have much left in the tank 150m out after working hard to clear Reliable Team for the lead 1,400m out. He didn't get the best of runs and was up in grade at level weights. Butterfield ran on without menacing from towards the rear. He's not good enough at this level. Sky Darci went amiss near the 800m after a one-off run better than midfield.
