Recap by phillip woo
Happy Universe settled prominently and just reeled in long-time leader Yoda's Choice for a second win at his second win and first this term from 20 starts. He appreciated a step up to 1,800m after producing an eye-catching second. Yoda's Choice would not go down without a fight after leading from gate seven. He has honest form over the dirt 1,800m. Shanghai Style ran on nicely near the outside for third after making his run towards the rear from gate five. He had trialled well leading into this run. Firefoot ran on steadily for fourth after making his run wide with cover travelling behind midfield. It was another honest effort on this surface. Mega Force ran on steadily for fifth after a rails run from midfield. He is zero-from-16 in Hong Kong but does seem to race best on this surface. Punted late The Lion King was on his tippy toes 100m out after rushing forward three wide from gate 14 to attack the speed just under the 1,200m. It wasn't a hopeless effort at his initial run on the surface. Favourite California Star never landed a blow after making his run second last from gate 10. The step up to 1,800m backfired.
