Recap by phillip woo

Firming late Lucky Archangel just got the better of Savvy Delight after hitting the front near the 100m out following a dream run in the box-seat. He took full advantage of a better gate after showing promise in his past three of four starts. Savvy Delight couldn't keep a straight line but still ran on well to finish a close second after a one-off run better than midfield. He's still immature but has made a good impression in both starts and a win is around the corner. Plunged late Infinity Win found a couple too good in the end after dictating the run from gate four. It was a return to form after an unlucky run last start at Sha Tin. The Jolly ran on well to spice up the quartet after saving ground four back from a middle draw. It was an encouraging run in a race run to suit those closer to the speed and he will be suited shortly in Class Five. Like the latter, Turbo Power didn't get the pace run to suit but still made good ground late to earn a pay slip after making his run third last from a tricky gate. He's run well in back-to-back efforts over this course. Punted late Melbourne Hall only plodded over the final 200m after settling effectively one-out, one-back. The quick back up after a placing last Wednesday backfired.
