Recap by phillip woo
Firming favourite Alpha Strike led from gate nine and kept on gamely to just beat Sparkling Fellow to win his local debut. He lived up to his trials and has a nice future in Hong Kong. Sparkling Fellow ran on nicely through the centre for second from behind midfield. It was a solid run after a 140-day break. Casa Of Honor grudgingly gave way after prompting the pace from gate six. He's given a good sight in both starts this term. Sunny Da Best ran on well for fourth on the far side after making his run towards the rear from gate one. It was a good effort at his first start following a heart irregularity in July. Alsonso kept on one paced after a handy run near the grandstand side. Stormy Grove made some ground through the centre from midfield. It was an okay effort on his local debut. Wonderstar was stopping 100m out after prompting the pace from a low draw. He couldn't cope carrying 17lb more following a win.
