Recap by phillip woo
Favourite Spirit Of Peace responded nicely from midfield down the outside to just overhaul Hayday in the final few strides for a maiden win at his third start and help rider Zac Purton equal Douglas Whyte for the most winning rides in Hong Kong. Hayday reclaimed the lead 150m out after handing up 700m out to travel in the box seat. He was able to get on track from a better draw with a return to the course and distance of a win in June. Fortune Whiskey stayed on nicely for third after sitting wide near the speed from gate seven. It was another good effort. Golden Friendship plugged on nicely for fourth after a prominent run one off the fence from gate four. It was an encouraging debut performance. Golden Luck had no more to offer 50m out after claiming the outright lead 700m out carrying top weight. He should find his mark shortly in this grade. Our Lucky Glory ran on steadily without menacing after a rails run from midfield. He's in the right grade. Crystal Powerful failed to lift when push came to shove after a handy run along the inside from gate one. It was an out-of-character performance.
