Recap by phillip woo
Heavily punted to jump favourite, Tourbillon Golfer led from gate 11 and kept finding for a maiden win at his fifth start. The win was forthcoming after placing three times. Roman Crown ran on well near the inside for second after recovering from a tardy start to travel midfield on the fence. He's building towards a win and this run provides him options outside of Sha Tin. Debutant Never Settle ran on nicely to nearly grab second after a one-off trip from just worse than midfield. He's got a bit of an engine underneath him. Grand Nova had his chance but was only good enough for fourth after a speed-tracking run. It was another honest run. Early favourite Von Baer whacked on one paced after travelling keenly fourth along the inside. He keeps promising without delivering but seems to perform a shade better at Sha Tin. Big Return made inroads late after making his run at the rear from gate nine. It was his best run from six starts and first at the Valley. California Deeply only plodded when asked for an effort after a one-off trip from better than midfield. He hasn't disgraced but has struggled to recapture top form.
