Recap by phillip woo
The well-backed Jolly Ruler took control near the 100m after a prominent run wide without cover for a fourth win from 33 starts. The step back in distance worked the oracle after placing last start over the Valley 1,650m. Favourite Telecom Power found one too good after getting all the favours in the box seat. He's as honest as the day is long. After firming late in betting, Fortune Whiskey ran on steadily for third after a one-off trip from better than midfield. He rarely produces a bad run over the Valley 1,200m. Incredible Moment kept on for fourth after getting impeded over the last 100m following a front-running effort from gate six. It was a pleasing debut effort. Top Peak made ground late to just take fifth after making his run four from the rear. He was able to back up an improved fourth last start at Sha Tin. Prime Mortar gradually faded after a speed-tracking run from gate seven. He's better ridden conservatively in the run. Swagger Bro came from last at one point near the inside to finish next best after a sluggish start from gate 11. He's not far off a bottom.
