THE HONG KONG CLASSIC CUP

Age: 4yo WT: 126lbs

Rapper Dragon was away well from the gates before being taken back to eighth one off the fence with a trail approximately seven lengths from Winner’s Way who ran along in front. Rapper Dragon was taken three wide from the 700m as he commenced his run. He cornered five wide and quickened up smartly hitting the front at the 250m and then drew away to a most dominant victory. Pakistan Star was taken back to a detached last. He came widest of all on the home turn and closed strongly for a good second. He will appreciate a further step up in distance. Seasons Bloom raced in ninth position on the fence before switching off the fence and at the 700m to track the winner into the race. He could not match the winners turn of foot but he stayed on resolutely for third. Eagle Way closed strongly from second last and wide to finish (3.5 lengths) fourth. He will appreciate a step up in trip.
