Recap by phillip woo

Post-time favourite Ultra Express quickened nicely to take control 150m out for a second straight win. He's a progressive sort and made full use of a light weight to offset a rise in class. Serious Liaison just out-dashed California Ten by a whisker for second after settling three deep with cover behind the eventual winner. It was another good run carrying more weight after winning two of his past three starts. California Ten ran on well after settling five back and one off the fence. He had been knocking on the door in two of three prior starts. All For St Paul's hung on for fourth after getting his own way in front. He's as honest as the day is long but was performing off a career high in the ratings. Casimiro got going late without menacing from towards the rear. It was a better effort on his past few with a return to the Sha Tin mile. Champion Supreme got going late down the outside after making his run at the rear following a slow start.
