It seems like Hong Kong goes through cycles every so often of different horses who are tough beat in the top 2000 meters races at Sha Tin. For a long time it was California Memory, then it became Military Attack, but now I think it's possible Designs On Rome is quickly becoming the new "2000 meter sheriff" in town. Really good run from Military Attack in 2nd and a luckless Vercingetorix in 3rd who could find no racing room at all to make his run until inside the final 200 meters.
