Recap by phillip woo
Dancing Classics sat three wide without cover from gate 10 but still took control 60m out for a third win from nine starts. It was a return to form wearing blinkers after disappointing three times following a Sha Tin win. Candlelight Dinner stayed on well to win a six-way battle for second following a speed-tracking run from gate seven. He's as honest as the day is long over the Valley 1,000m. Punted late Bunta Baby charged late down the outside to just miss second after a patient ride third last from gate 12. He was able to back up a close third last start. Parents' Love just lost a placing late after dictating the pace from gate five. He rarely produces a bad run over the Valley 1,000m. California Blitz ran on steadily through the centre to make it close for the minors following a one-off trip from better than midfield. It was a good effort at his initial Valley 1,000m run but he's better suited over 1,200m. Dragon Four Seas ran on well with one wider out to just get the head down for sixth prize money following a wide trip with cover from behind midfield. Favourite Robot Lucky Star ran on without threatening.
