Recap by phillip woo

Firming favourite Faster More was handy along the rails, ridden along coming to the final bend, popped one off at the 400m and took control approaching the 200m for an overdue win at his ninth start after multiple placings. Good Fit settled fourth from the rear and one off the rails, swung the final bend with one wider out and ran on soundly to snare second in the final few metres. He's naturally improved in his four starts and will be winning races next season. Elegance Klammer settled behind midfield and one off the rails, swung the final bend with three wider and wore down Demokles in the final stride for a placing. Demokles briefly hit the front 320m out after a deep run with cover in midfield and grudgingly gave late.

CLASSY VICTOR, which was following ROBUST MOMENTUM, was held up for clear running in the early part of the Straight.

Also approaching the 300 Metres, ONGOING VOLATILITY was awkwardly placed close to the heels of ELEGANCE KLAMMER which shifted in.

After the 200 Metres, ISLAND GARDEN was checked when crowded for room between VERY WELL and CLASSY VICTOR which, after initially being taken in slightly by ROBUST MOMENTUM, then got its head on the side and shifted in further away from that horse.

Passing the 100 Metres, ONGOING VOLATILITY was steadied when disappointed for running between ELEGANCE KLAMMER and GOOD FIT which hung in under pressure.

After this, ONGOING VOLATILITY was unable to obtain clear running and because of this was not tested over the concluding stages.

Throughout the race, EMPEROR CLAUDIUS travelled wide and without cover.

XILAI XIANZI lost its right front plate after passing the winning post.

A veterinary inspection of ISLAND GARDEN and ROYALE ELEGANCE immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
