Recap by phillip woo
After settling in midfield, Copartner Ambition showed a good turn of foot near the inside to take control 60m out for a fourth win from his past five starts. He can win again if he remains in the grade. Celestial Colours gave a cheeky sight after working hard to lead from gate 10. It was another good performance after making a nice impression in his first two local runs at Sha Tin. A Americ Te Specso ran on nicely through the centre for third after a patient ride one from the rear. It was another honest effort. Never Too Soon closed off well down the outside for fourth after settling one off the fence behind midfield. He relished a return to the same course and distance as two earlier wins this term. Brave Star lost fourth late after tracking a genuine pace from a tricky gate. He performed OK. Excellent Peers ran on without threatening after settling one from the rear. He rarely produces a bad run but is still trying to find a rating bottom. Following a one-out, oneback run, favourite Healthy Healthy couldn't turn it up another gear when push came to shove. The rise in weight took its toll following consecutive wins.
