Recap by phillip woo

Favourite Victor The Winner kept up a strong gallop after being gifted a relatively easy time in front for a fifth win from seven starts. He got things run to suit after the race complexion changed following the slow start by the speedy Nervous Witness. Howdeepisyourlove motored late to finish a close second with two wider out after a one-off run from behind midfield. It was another solid performance by the three-year-old despite a switch in courses. Oriental Smoke came from midfield to just deny Goko Win a placing. It was a better run on his past handful of starts. Goko Win had his chance after a box seat run. He did have to carry more weight after a runner-up effort last start on dirt in this class. Carroll Street ran on without menacing near the outside after making his run three from the rear. He's a straight 1,000m horse. Adios was held up for a majority of the straight after a patient ride one from the rear. He should have finished closer. Ka Ying Master weakened over the last 100m after a pace-prompting run.
