Although not yet at the top of his form, Collection (Weichong Marwing) was bursting with authority as he came clear for his first victory since the Hong Kong Derby, beating the same three horses - Unique Jewellery, Mr Medici and Thumbs Up - who chased him home last March, albeit in a different order. His stablemate and winner of the past two editions of this race, Viva Pataca, was sent out the clear favourite, but could finish only seventh. Today's feature race at Happy Valley is Race 7, the Wayfoong Centenary Bowl. Find out which horse I think will march home in today's podcast. I also give my thoughts on a value pick for the Jockey Challenge bet as well as my Best Bet over the course of the 8-race meet. Watch the slideshow to find out more.

http://www.scmp.com/video In the aftermath of street artist Zevs' "liquidation" of Giorgio Armani's store in Central this week, the Frenchman has had to deal with his arrest and subsequent court case in which he pleaded guilty to one count of criminal damage. Representatives of Giorgio Armani demanded nearly HK$6.7 million in damages. They say because they could not remove the paint from the store's facade because of its sandstone nature. Zevs said he deliberately used a water-based paint that ought to have been easily removable. But professional cleaners hired by Armani claim otherwise. The case has been adjourned till 14th August pending both sides' assessment of the damage. Without prior knowledge to his planned stunt, the Post interviewed Zevs days before the incident and introduced us to some of his previous art work.
