Recap by phillip woo
Invincible Shield settled prominently before hitting the lead 100m out and golding off the late surge of Markwin for a third straight win from four starts despite a rise in class and distance. He's got room to head higher. Sensationally-backed Markwin was unlucky not to have won after getting held up for a run until the 220m following a rails run from behind midfield. Soleil Fighter found a couple just too good after moving to the lead 270m out following a speed-tracking run from the widest draw. This run proves he's not just a one-trick pony at the Valley. Swift Ascend ran on well for fourth after biding his time one from the rear. It was another honest effort. Healthy Happy succumbed late for fifth after dictating the run from gate nine. The big weight took its toll. Dancing Code only held his ground after getting held up on the back of the speed following a box-seat run. He had an excuse. Mid Winter Wind got going late without ever threatening from towards the rear. He's disappointed three times after a debut win in Hong Kong.
