Recap by phillip woo

Happy Fat Cat just held off Galvanic after getting his own way in front from gate five for a third win from eight starts for his new trainer this term. The key was a riding change to 10-pound claimer Angus Chung Yik-lai. Galvanic was eating away late to make it close on the wire after a prominent run on the fence. He was able to build on a pleasing seventh on debut over the Valley 1,200m. Early favourite Timestorm ran on nicely from behind midfield to just edge Smart Leader for third. He's building towards a win. Smart Leader closed steadily near the outside to just miss a placing after a wide with cover run from behind midfield. It was another honest effort. Happy Forever finished next best after a pace-stalking run from gate 14. Favourite Super Highway made only a mild bid after slotting one off with cover from midfield. He does appear from his past two following a win. Fun Together faded after getting posted wide until slotting in the one-one 700m out from a tricky gate. He was carrying more weight following a win at just his second start. Chilli Baba faded after getting caught very wide without cover better than midfield.

ROYAL AGILITY was shifted across behind runners in the early stages.

TIER GOODY raced keenly in the early stages and near the 900 Metres was steadied to avoid the heels of TIMESTORM which shifted in.

MASTER OF LUCK raced keenly near the 900 Metres and soon after making the turn passing the 900 Meters was hampered when carried out slightly by SMART LEADER which also when racing keenly shifted out.

Approaching the 400 Metres, SUPER HIGHWAY was awkwardly placed on the heels of CHILLI BABA and was shifted to the outside of that runner to secure clear running.

TELECOM MISSILE was held up for clear running from the 400 Metres to the 300 Metres.

Near the 350 Metres, TIMESTORM and CHILLI BABA brushed due to CHILLI BABA shifting in slightly.

Approaching the 100 Metres, MASTER OF LUCK was steadied and shifted to the inside of SPEEDY FORTUNE to continue into clear running.

He said as a result CHILLI BABA made the Home Turn wide and came under pressure in the Straight.
