Recap by phillip woo
Nine-year-old Harmony N Blessed travelled third and one off the fence before taking the lead 100m out and holding off held off Eternal Fortune for a 10th win from 64 starts. He took full advantage of a drop into Class Three. Eternal Fortune just failed to get up for the win after a prominent run sitting a length behind the winner. It was another honest performance at his first run back following a bone injury in June. Quartz Legend quickened nicely through the centre to grab third without threatening the top two following a patient ride third last. It was an encouraging debut effort. Lucky Xander finished nicely to just miss a placing after making his run five back and one off the fence. It was a much better effort at his second local start. Candlelight Dinner gradually faded after leading as expected from gate one. Blue Illusion ran on all right without menacing after a rails run from behind midfield. It was a positive Hong Kong debut.
