Recap by phillip woo

Vulcanus had a handy run on the fence and after hitting the lead along the inside 150m out, he edged clear for a second win and first on the turf from 17 starts this season. Brownneedsfurther ran on nicely near the inside for second after biding his time fourth last from gate one. It was a much-improved effort with a switch to the Valley at his second ever start. Favourite Lucky Sam Gor gradually gave way after making his run third in between the leading pair from gate five. It was another good effort at his initial start at the Valley. Argento Ocean wove a run to take fourth after making his run two from the rear. He was able to build on an encouraging run on debut last month at Sha Tin. Mega Bonus gradually faded after spearing to the lead from gate four. He has kept on well for fifth in back-to-back runs since a win. California Blitz ran on without threatening after a wide trip behind midfield from gate 12. It wasn't a bad effort. Always My Folks was on his tippy toes 150m out after prompting the pace three wide and without cover from gate 10. Solar River will sleep well after a wide and without cover trip from midfield.
