Recap by phillip woo
Favourite Thunder Blink settled midfield and pulled out three wide at the 700m before getting up 50m out for a third win and first since his Griffin days from 16 starts. The stable change worked the oracle after showing improvement in back-to-back Valley 1,650m runs. Harry's Hero found one just too good after taking off from behind midfield 850m out. He was able to back up a near win last start at Sha Tin. Telecom Power stayed on nicely along the inside to finish a close third after a rails run from better than midfield. It was a good effort. Wah May Wai Wai wouldn't go down without a fight after clearing to lead from gate eight. He should get away with a race shortly. Plunged late in betting, Family Fortune made headway late near the outside for fifth after a wide trip with cover from behind midfield. Punted late Strongest Boy came from near the rear to finish next best. Lucky Blessing dipped at the start and made only a mild bid after straightening one off travelling behind midfield. He's at his best when allowed to bowl along in front. Tsuen Wan Glory was held up for a good part of the straight after a box-seat run.
