Recap by phillip woo

Fight Hero capped a huge day for trainer Me Tsui Yu-sak with perfectly-timed run one from the back to blouse House Of Fun on the wire for the win. He relished the fast pace but is a true freak on this surface. House Of Fun produced a huge run after chasing a swift pace three deep without cover to just miss after hitting the front 200m out. He's a winner waiting to happen on either surface. Classic Emperor unleased a good burst to snatch third close to home after settling third from the rear. He was another to benefit from the fast pace but did live up to a runaway mile win in his dirt debut last start and there might be more up his sleeve on this surface. Mr Genuine closed off reasonably well after a deep run behind midfield. He's running well without winning on both surfaces. Post-time favourite Fabulous One was vulnerable late as expected after setting brisk fractions. It was another decent run in defeat but he needs some relief in the rating.
