Recap by phillip woo

Flash Star came from behind midfield to sneak through along the inside rail to take control 50m out for an upset win at his seventh start. It was clearly his best run to date. Loving Vibes did everything right but get the win after claiming the lead near the 200m following a speed-tracking run. He's turned things around to place in back-to-back runs following a move to blinkers. Bits Superstar stayed on well for third after a prominent run. He's run well to place in twice and an unlucky seventh from his past three runs over the Valley 1,200m. Old-timer Mega Bonus lost a placing late after dictating the pace from gate three. It was his best effort from five starts this term. Superb Boy stayed on well for fifth after a handy run wide and without cover from gate seven. He should find his mark shortly in this grade. California Deeply came from last and widest out to finish next best. You can forgive the runs of both firming favourite Thunder Prince and King Oberon, who were held up for most the straight.

Horse No 12 FLASH STAR (K431) R Kingscote In the early stages raced ungenerously when being shifted across behind runners from a wide barrier.

In the Home Straight lay in and near the 100 Metres rider R Kingscote dropped his right rein.

When questioned regarding the improved performance Trainer C S Shum stated that he had instructed Jockey R Kingscote to settle the horse where comfortable and endeavour to make a wide run in the Home Straight.

He said after settling in a midfield position the horse was advantaged by being able to improve to the inside away from other horses and this was the only explanation he could offer for its improved performance tonight.
