Recap by phillip woo
Win Method just reeled in Snowthorn in the concluding stages after a prominent run for a maiden win at his eighth start. It was clearly his best run to date in a depthless race. Punted late, Snowthorn gave a cheeky sight in front after clearing to lead from gate seven. It was his first ever placing from seven starts. Free Pony sustained his bid for third after taking off travelling behind midfield 400m out from gate 10. He was able to back up an opening fourth this season. Winning Now just held his ground when asked for an effort after chasing the leader on the fence. It was a better performance after getting no favours on debut last month at Sha Tin. Favourite Genius Baby just failed to get up for fourth after getting held up early straight following a rails run from midfield. It was a better effort following a stable change. Up With Charm ran on without threatening after making his run five back on the fence. Absolute Lucky was doing his best work late through the centre after making his run at the rear from gate 12. Crystal Powerful tamely faded after working hard three wide to eventually sit outside the leader.
