Recap by phillip woo
Harmony N Blessed drew clear after poking his head in front 100m out following a speed-chasing run for an eighth career win and second from eight starts over the Sha Tin 1,200m. Superb Capitalist found one too good after dictating the pace from gate one. He has given a good sight in both starts this term and a win is around the corner. Early favourite Copartner Prance whacked on one paced after a box-seat run. He ran well carrying top weight. Bundle Of Charm was doing his best work late for fourth after making his run one from the rear. He rarely produces a bad run. Sing Dragon stayed on reasonably well after a rail run from midfield. It was a pleasing effort, but he is clearly better on the dirt surface. Son Pak Fu ran on without threatening. Young Champion only plodded when asked for an effort following a one-off trip from midfield. He disappointed after consecutive wins. Full Credit found nothing when asked for an effort travelling effectively one-out, one-back. He was up in grade following back-to-back wins.
