Recap by phillip woo
Punted late, Harmony N Blessed kept on gamely after hitting the front 150m out following a pace-stalking run for a fifth career win and third from eight starts over the Valley 1,000m. He put the writing on the wall with a front-running third last start over 1,200m. Seasons Wit rallied strongly to finish a close second after getting caught wide towards the rear from gate 10. He's looked a winner waiting to happen in his three local starts. Lightning Storm wouldn't go down without a fight after quickly finding the front from gate nine. It was a solid return to the races after knee surgery in September. California Deeply ran on late from behind midfield to just miss a placing. It was another honest effort but the big weight took its toll. Special M kept on evenly after a prominent run, but he couldn't turn it up another gear carrying a back-breaking weight. Harmony Fire had no excuse after a box seat run. He hasn't been easy to get right this season. Mark The Moment couldn't land a blow from midfield on the fence. It was another flat effort at the Valley and he should stick to Sha Tin.
