Recap by phillip woo
Easy Snip took control 150m out for his second Hong Kong win from 20 starts. He took full advantage of gate two after putting the writing on the board last start and could win again. Favourite Jumbo Legend ran on nicely to finish a clear-cut second after making his run five back on the fence. He ran nicely carrying top weight. Well-backed Beauty Infinity caught the eye to get up for third after his wide-without-cover run behind midfield. It was a smart debut effort, and he appears to have a bright future ahead of him. Talents Supremo kept on reasonably well after tracking the leader without cover from gate 12. He has performed nicely in back-to-back runs following his recent win. Diamond Flare gradually faded after finding the front from barrier eight. It was one of his better efforts in Class Four following his last-start win in the cellar grade. Telecom Speed kept on one-paced when Lyle Hewitson asked him for more after his box seat run. It was not a bad effort, but he needs to find an easier Class Four test. Exuberant ran on from towards the rear without threatening the winner.
