Recap by phillip woo

Late-fancied favourite Joy Of Spring responded nicely when asked for an effort to take control 100m out for a second win on the bounce after a Sha Tin 1,800m win. He is racing well. Me Time got up in the dying stages for second after biding his time four from the rear. It was clearly his best run from seven starts following a gear change. Forever Glorious chased the speed behind Satirical Glory and lost second late after moving to the lead 300m out. He is as honest as the day is long. Precise Express made ground late for fourth after settling one off the rail behind midfield. He was able to back up a close third last start. Early favourite Serangoon ran on steadily to finish next best after making his run five back on the fence. He rarely produces a bad run over this course. Pegasus General ran on without threatening after making his run one from the rear. The old-timer is beyond his better days. Punted late, Special Hedge had his chance but didn't find much in the run to the wire after chasing the leading pair on the fence. The switch to the Valley did not have the desired result.
