Recap by phillip woo

California Ten took control 200m out after a wide without cover behind midfield from a wide gate to ring up a first win at his 11th start. He relished a return to his favourite 1,800m and does thrive under Karis Teetan. Precise Express kept coming to grab second 50m out after making his run deep with cover towards the rear from the widest draw. He was able to build on a pleasing effort last month over an inadequate 1,400m. Helene Allibor stayed on well for a placing after settling just off the fence better than midfield. He's made steady progress in his three starts and appreciated a rise in trip. Chevalier Prince kept on reasonably well for fourth chasing the speed one off the fence from a wide draw. He's given a decent sight in both starts this season. Entrusted ran on without menacing following a patient ride second from the rear. It wasn't a bad effort carrying more weight following a win last month. Well-backed Above ran on without menacing after biding his time five back and one off the fence with cover. He requires a longer trip. Leap Of Faith came up flat after taking a while to settling down one-off behind midfield. He was a shade disappointing after putting the writing on the wall in his opening two starts.

When questioned regarding the disappointing performance of LEAP OF FAITH, A Hamelin stated that, in his opinion, the horse's failure to finish off the race was attributable to LEAP OF FAITH over-racing for a considerable distance in the early and middle stages due to the moderate tempo of the race and also stepping up in distance.

He said LEAP OF FAITH would not relax for him in the middle stages and got its head up for some distance when being checked away from the heels of runners in front.

He said after being held up for clear running rounding the Home Turn behind ENZEMBLE, LEAP OF FAITH then came under pressure in the early part of the Straight and did not finish off the race.
