Recap by phillip woo

Sacred Ibis was still last at the head of the straight but worked home stylishly after angling into the open with two wider out at the 250 to mow them down 30m out to add to a season debut win at the Valley. He was suited by the pace but the move to blinkers has done wonders and he appears to have more to come. Good For You finished well to grab second 50m out after travelling third from the rear from the widest gate. He's always a chance over this Sha Tin trip. Enjoy Life really started to pick up 150m out to run down Call Me Awesome for third following a midfield run. He appeared to relish the rise in trip and might even get a mile as well. Call Me Awesome stayed on well after a deep run travelling fore of midfield to just miss a placing. He was suited by the return to Class Four but the big weight is always going to be a hurdle. Specked at odds Win For Charity kept on gamely following a one-out, one-back run.

From the outside barriers, ROCKET GO and GOOD FOR YOU were shifted across behind runners in the early stages.

Near the 950 Metres, CALL ME AWESOME (N Callan), which was ridden along, shifted in when awkwardly placed close to the heels of WIN FOR CHARITY, resulting in EVEREST being taken in onto ENJOY LIFE and causing those horses to be crowded for room.

N Callan was advised to exercise more care in similar circumstances.

Passing the 900 Metres, WIN FOR CHARITY commenced to prove very difficult to settle and was checked away from the heels of GAINFULJET.

In this incident, WIN FOR CHARITY shifted in away from the heels of GAINFULJET, causing FLYING NOBLE to be crowded for room.

ENJOY LIFE, which was following, was steadied away from the heels of that horse in consequence.

Apprentice M F Poon (LEISURED FEET) and K C Leung (GAINFULJET) were spoken to about steadying the tempo of the race after the 900 Metres which resulted in a number of horses which were racing behind being awkwardly placed close to the heels of the runners in front.

Approaching the 800 Metres, BRILLIANT DREAM got its head up when awkwardly placed close to the heels of CALL ME AWESOME and shifted away from behind that horse in consequence.

After this, BRILLIANT DREAM travelled wide and without cover.

For some distance approaching and passing the 800 Metres, ROYALE ELEGANCE proved difficult to settle and was awkwardly placed close to the heels of ENJOY LIFE.

Approaching the 600 Metres, GOOD FOR YOU and RED ELYSEES raced tight as RED ELYSEES shifting to the outside of CALL ME AWESOME.

Near the 500 Metres, RED ELYSEES became unbalanced when racing in restricted room between GOOD FOR YOU and CALL ME AWESOME which shifted out marginally.

Passing the 400 Metres, FLYING NOBLE momentarily raced tight inside LEISURED FEET which was taken in by GAINFULJET.

Passing the 200 Metres, EVEREST was bumped by ENJOY LIFE which got its head on the side and lay out.

Throughout the race, THE LEGEND travelled wide and without cover.

A veterinary inspection of LEISURED FEET, EVEREST and ROCKET GO immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.

A veterinary inspection of GAINFULJET immediately following the race did not show any significant findings, however, the horse was unable to be scoped due to being fractious.
