Recap by phillip woo
Favourite Dancing Classics had a perfect run on the leader's back before moving to the lead 250m out and finding enough to just prevail for a second win and first at the Valley from five starts. The switch to a 5lb claimer worked the oracle. Rewarding Buddy ran on well to finish a close second after a rails run from better than midfield. It was his best run from five starts. Well backed Jolly Companion ran on well for third after a one-off trip from behind midfield. It was his best effort to date on turf. Argento Ocean lost third late after a wide trip without cover travelling midfield from gate 11. He had an excuse. Peridot was doing his best work late for fifth after biding his time second last from gate 12. He's still learning the ropes, but it was an encouraging effort at his first Valley start. Thousand Cups weakened after leading from gate six. Telecom Power ran on without threatening through the centre after making his run two from the rear. He'll be a force to be reckoned with if he can find his way into Class Five. Awesome Treasure tamely faded after a speed-tracking run from gate three. He's more effective at Sha Tin.
