Recap by phillip woo
Effortless Win had a one-off trip settling third and after poking his head in front 200mout out, he just held on for a debut win in Hong Kong. He remains perfect in two starts after winning his only start in Australia. Thriving Brothers should have gone close to winning after getting held up for a run until the 200m following a handy run on the fence. He's honest as the day is long. Gold Patch wouldn't go down without a fight after being hustled to lead one off outside Superb Capitalist from gate 11. It was another solid performance carrying 6lb more after back-to-back wins. Thunder Action was next best but didn't have a clear room near the inside over the final 80m following a patient ride third last. It was an eye-catching run. Rising From Ashes was finishing nicely near the outside for fifth after making his run at the rear from gate 10. It was an improved run.
