Recap by phillip woo

Favourite Son Pak Fu won with something in hand after hitting the front 150m out following a rails run better than midfield for a third straight win over the Valley 1,200m. He's really come into his own and can compete up in class off a light weight. Rank outsider Kasi Farasi ran on nicely to grab second 30m out after a wide run with cover from midfield. The combination of blinkers and a return to the Valley nearly delivered the goods after two positive runs at Sha Tin. Snowalot made good ground late down the outside to just win a blanket finish for third after a wide run with cover from behind midfield. It was another honest effort with a return to the course and distance. E Rainbow just missed a placing after chasing the speed one off in third. He can bob up at any moment. E Brother weakened over the final 100m after tracking the speed one off from a tricky gate. The big weight took its toll following back-to-back wins. Flaming Eagle made a mild bid from midfield. He's a Class Five horse. Divine Era had nothing left in the tank near the 100m after dictating the run from gate one.
