Recap by phillip woo

After settling in the box seat, Galvanic took control 200m out for a first win at his 13th start. He was able to improve after he was beaten a length in fifth when he stepped up to the Valley 1,650m last start. Favourite Satirical Glory kept on gamely for second after turning the final bend a length on top from gate six. He's a winner waiting to happen with seconds in two of his past three starts. Gallant Valour dashed late for third after a patient ride in second last from gate 12. He had no issues over the mile trip after recording a win and three third place finishes in four prior Valley 1,200m starts. Dublin Star came up one-paced over the last 100m after a prominent run. It was an improved effort at his second straight Class Four run. Amazing Boy came from last along the inside to finish next best. He's mixing his form. Young Victory ran on without threatening after biding his time three from the rear. Win Win Fighter ran on without threatening down the outside. Master Hero produced only a grinding effort after switching off heels for a clear run 200m out behind midfield. He should stick to Sha Tin.
