Recap by phillip woo
Specked late Bucephalas got a soft lead from gate two and kept on gamely for a second win from 17 starts. The return to the Valley 1,650m worked the oracle after unlucky runs at his first two Sha Tin starts this term. Firming favourite Fortune Star ran on nicely for second after a rail run from midfield. He's honest over the Valley 1,650m. Punted late Uranus Star kept on well for third after going forward three wide from better than midfield to sit second 1,000m out from gate 10. It was a better effort third up this term but is a well-rated runner on the back of a win last term off 65. Happy Promise stayed on a non-threatening fourth after a prominent run on the fence. He will be a force to be reckoned with if he finds his way into Class Five. Golden Ace got going late near the outside for fifth after a one-off trip travelling behind midfield following a sluggish start. He's still a work in progress but has shown flashes of ability in his four starts. Akermanis Gold stayed on a never dangerous sixth after a one-off trip from midfield carrying top weight following back-to-back wins. Road To Glory ran on without threatening.
