Recap by phillip woo
Well-backed Always My Folks tracked the speed from gate seven before assuming the lead from favourite Macanese Master near the 200m and finding plenty for a first win at his 17th start. He appreciated a step back to the 1,000m of a fourth two runs ago after struggling over 1,200m. Macanese Master found one too good after leading from gate one. He continues to hold his form very well with seconds in three consecutive runs after a win in February. Punted late Spicy Spangle stayed on well for third after settling fourth in the run following a slow start. It was a good effort after playing up before the start. Taihang Scenery made up heaps of ground late near the inside to snatch fourth after a patient ride second last from gate 12. It was another solid run over the Valley 1,000m after a near win in February. Country Dancer peaked on his run 100m out following a bid through the centre following a one-off trip from behind midfield. He might be better suited over 1,200m nowadays. Lucky Generations ran on without threatening after a rails run from behind midfield. He's more effective over a further 200m.
