Recap by phillip woo

Well-backed Tourbillon Prince just scraped home from favourite Superb Kid after claiming the lead from Satirical Fan near the 200m following a pace-stalking run from a wide draw for a second win this season. It was his best run. Superb Kid was closing with every stride to finish a close second following a rails run from midfield. It was another good effort carrying more weight following a win. Ching ran on nicely for third after a one-off trip from behind midfield. He was resuming after a nosebleed in December and is one to watch going forward especially over the 1,600m. Elliptical made some ground to nearly fill the frame after a rails run from behind midfield. It was a better effort following a downgrade. Magnificent Nine whacked on a one paced-fourth after a one-out, one-back run. He keeps promising without saluting. Super Goldi came from last to finish next best. He was up in class and gave them too much of a head start from gate 10.
