Recap by phillip woo
Chateauneuf overhauled favourite King Miles 30m out after a box-seat run for a fourth win and third over the Valley 1,200m from 22 starts. He relished both a return to the Valley and gate one after two Sha Tin defeats. Early favourite King Miles wouldn't go down without a fight after getting pressured to his outside by Fun Elite. It was another good run carrying 5lb more following a win. Post-time favourite Mighty Commander just got up for third after a one-off trip from midfield. He's given a decent sight three times at this level after an opening win in Class Four this term. Veteran Power Koepp was making good ground late and just missed a placing after a one-off trip from behind midfield. He's improved on each of his three starts across both tracks this term. Find My Love just missed the frame after a rails run from better than midfield. It was another decent effort despite a rise in class. Young Emperor was making ground late without menacing after biding his time three from the rear. Fun Elite weakened 100m out after prompting the pace from gate nine with a 7lb claimer atop.
