Recap by phillip woo
Embrace Aberdeen travelled one-out, one back and after moving to the lead 200m out, he just held on for the win. It was a solid run on debut. Aurio worked home strongly down the outside to miss by a bob of heads after a patient ride second last. It was another good effort after a close third in a voided race on his seasonal debut last month for his new trainer. Favourite Vigor Eye stayed on for third without threatening the first two after a box-seat run. It was an encouraging debut effort. Diriya ran on steadily for fourth after a one-off trip from midfield. He's now placed fourth in two of four starts over the Sha Tin 1,200m. Invictus Dragon rallied for fifth after biding his time two from the rear. He's still not the finished product but has run on for fifth in three of his four starts. Gastronomique got up for a minor slice of the pie after a rails run from behind midfield. Brownneedsfurther made only a mild bid after a wide trip.
