WONDER KIT jumped awkwardly, shifted in and bumped the hindquarters of CZARSON.
NOBLE WIN jumped only fairly.
On jumping, SETANTA was hampered when crowded between MIDORI BEAUTY and TEXAS MOON, both of which shifted ground.
From the outside barriers, BRAVE DREAMS, GOOD BUDDY and READY TO WIN were all shifted across behind runners in the early stages.
In the middle stages, NOBLE WIN and BRAVE DREAMS raced keenly.
Between the 350 Metres and the 300 Metres, E LEGEND was held up for clear running.
Over the final 150 Metres, GOOD BUDDY was held up and could not be tested to the finish.
For a short distance near the 100 Metres, NOBLE WIN was held up behind WONDER KIT.
Near the 100 Metres, READY TO WIN was briefly held up when being shifted to the outside of REVE PARISIEN to obtain clear running.

Recap by phillip woo
Reve Parisien just scraped in after straightening nearly two lengths on top for a wire-towire win. He was well rated by jockey Mathew Poon Ming-fai and it was a great training feat by his new trainer Peter Ho, his first start off a January defeat with a heart irregularity. Ready To Win didn't have the clearest of runs but was closing with every stride along the inside to just miss from behind midfield. He's capable but isn't easy to get right. E Legend kept on gamely to come up just short after getting all favours in the box seat. It was a better run in Class Three despite a step back in distance. Wonder Kit gradually gave way after a speed-chasing run with his mouth wide open. It was another honest effort. Czarson ran on steadily to just miss the frame after a handy run one off the fence. He rarely produces a bad run. Noble Win didn't have a clear crack at them over the final 200m travelling midfield on the fence. Favourite Midori Beauty never really got into the act from behind midfield. He didn't get the pace to suit. Good Buddy didn't get into the act from towards the rear. The slow pace played against him.
