Recap by phillip woo

City Gold Banner travelled three from the rear before coming off heels for a clear run 250m out on the far side and quickening nicely for a smart debut win in Hong Kong. He's got a nice future. Another first-timer in Hong Kong, The Unique Star was badly held up for a run between the 300m and 100m travelling better than midfield near the stand side from gate 11. He should have finished closer. Punted late Bundle Of Charm kept on well for third after travelling midfield on the far side. It was his best effort from four starts over the straight 1,000m. Post-time favourite Sight Hermoso just held his ground after a prominent run in the centre of the track. It was an OK effort in a higher grade. Fast Responder just plodded when asked for an effort sitting third in the run from an ideal draw. He failed to build on seconds in three consecutive runs.
