Recap by phillip woo

Viva A La dictated affairs from gate six and scrambled home ahead of fast-finishing favourite Yee Cheong Warrior to make it two wins from his past three starts. He appreciated stepping up to the course and distance at which he had ended third and fourth on his two previous attempts. Yee Cheong Warrior lunged late following his midfield rail run but came up short. He relished returning to his preferred C&D after his eye-catching 1,400m fourth last month. Tsuen Wan Glory stayed on nicely from better than midfield to fill a placing. He was able to build on his surprise 1,200m fourth three weeks earlier. M M Nebula did well to hang on for fourth after getting caught wide without cover in a prominent spot. He has the tools to build on build on both last night's effort and his last-start win on the dirt. Punted late, Sunny Baby ran on late from towards the rear without threatening the placegetters. He is finding it hard to carry heavy weights. Hang's Choice was unlucky not to finish closer. He was held up for a run along the inside until 150m from home after Karis Teetan rode him patiently one from the rear.
