Recap by phillip woo
Following a one-out, one-back run, short-priced favourite Romantic Warrior edged clear after taking the lead from Voyage Bubble 250m out for a 16th win from 20 starts. He's a superstar at 2,000m but credit must go to trainer Danny Shum Chap-shing for having him on the top of his game following fetlock surgery in May. Punted late, Voyage Bubble was given every chance setting a slow pace in front but found one better on the day. He was able to brush aside a mile defeat after a horror run. Ka Ying Generation ran on nicely for third after a rails run from midfield. It was a solid run on the back of a muddling pace off a 154-day break. Straight Arron plugged on one paced for fourth after a prominent run on the fence. He had his chance. Bundle Award came from last for fifth. It was a good performance in a race not run to suit. Ensued produced a grinding effort to finish next best after a one-off trip from better than midfield.
