Recap by phillip woo

Outsider Celtic Times ran on from fourth last through the centre to just get the better of favourite Ace War for a fourth win from 41 starts. Ace War ran on nicely along the inside for second after having the stopping Zhou Gongjin fall back on his lap upon straightening following a patient ride two from from the rear. He's a winner waiting to happen. Prestige Ricky ran on nicely down the outside for third after making his run at the rear from gate nine. He's not far off a winning run. Golden Brilliant just got the head down for fourth after a one-off trip from better than midfield. He was able to back up a fourth last start over the Valley 1,200m despite a rise in trip. The Azure ran on steadily to just miss the frame after a one-off trip from behind midfield. He should find his mark shortly in this grade. Aeroinvincible whacked on one paced after a wide trip travelling midfield from gate 10. He had an excuse. Punted late Fortunate Son ran on without threatening settling near the rear from gate 11. Ka Ying Glory finished well back after travelling erratically and drifting out 850m out following a prominent run.

Continued to race keenly in the middle stages.

Horse No 4 PRESTIGE RICKY (K009) H Bowman Jumped only fairly.

R Kingscote stated that he was instructed to take up a forward position with his mount stepping up in distance.

Horse No 6 KA YING GLORY (K247) K Teetan K Teetan stated that his mount hung out badly throughout the event and as a result he was unable to ride the horse in a competitive manner.

The racing manners and performance of KA YING GLORY, which finished tailed out, were considered unacceptable.

Before being allowed to race again, KA YING GLORY will be required to perform to the satisfaction of the Stewards in a barrier trial around a bend in Hong Kong and be subjected to an official veterinary examination.

He added that ICONICAL was also disadvantaged by being pressured in the lead by WAVE GARDEN.
