Good Ba Ba landed back-to-back runnings of the Cathay Pacific Hong Kong Mile with an imperious performance.
Christophe Soumillon settled the six-year-old nearer to the pace than usual as Egyptian Ra tried to make all.
However the result was never really in doubt from some way out as Soumillon oozed confidence on the Andreas Schutz-trained superstar and he streaked away to win in a new track record time.
Able One ran on well for second and Egyptian Ra stuck to his task well for third.
Soumillon controversially replaced Olivier Deleuze at the request of the owner, John Yuen Si Kit for the race.
The English raiders, Major Cadeaux, Laa Rayb and Pressing were well beaten.
Darren Beadman, who rode the runner-up, said: ‘He had a nice run, I would have liked to have squeezed some more out of him but the winner was just too good and he still ran a great race.’
Able One's trainer John Moore added: ‘It was a very gallant defeat, he was inside the track record himself.’
