Recap by phillip woo
Ching repelled a challenge from Pray For Mir over the final 150m after a move 900m out travelling wide without cover to hit the front at the 200m. It was his fifth career win. Pray For Mir had his chance after turning the final bend in the box-seat but found one just better on the day. He's a winner waiting to happen after two good efforts in Hong Kong. Bright Inheritance ran on well for third after making his run five back and one off the fence. He relished the step back to the distance of an upset win two runs ago in Class Four. Punted late Sunstrider was doing his best work late for fourth after making his run three from the rear. He keeps promising without delivering. Smart City kept on one-paced after a prominent run from gate four. It was a much-improved effort at his third local run.
