A late change for the Blues saw Maama Molitika start at number eight, with Macauley Cook going to blindside, after Xavier Rush didn't travel to Scotland following the birth of his baby boy in the early hours of Friday morning.
It was a scrappy opening to the game, with both sides executing kicks badly and basic handling errors in open play leading to a number of scrums. There were also several forward passes when it looked as if the attack had broken the defence, only to be called back by the referee George Clancy.
Glasgow seemed to have the better of the opening chances but winger Colin Shaw failed to hold onto a pass with nobody in front of him inside the Blues twenty two. However, again Glasgow attacked and this time Ryan Wilson crashed over under the posts and Weir converted.
It was Glasgow who now had the ascendancy and some nice play saw them work their way into the Blues twenty two where Weir extended the lead with a penalty. The Blues did have half a chance after Laulala did a trademark break, but Roberts failed to hold on to the offload inside the Glasgow twenty two and the Scotsmen cleared.
Half time Glasgow Warriors 10 Cardiff Blues 0
Glasgow came out of the blocks quickest in the second half with Kellock coming close to crossing the line. He was held short but Glasgow recycled and Wilson picked up to score his second, not only of the match, but of his Glasgow career. Weir again added the extras.
It was a frustrating evening for the Blues where they failed to build any momentum to their play. They did, however, manage to get some points on the board in the 50th minute when Halfpenny slotted a 45metre penalty.
The Blues had a chance to attack when they went for a lineout five metres out. However, the ball was overthrown and Glasgow cleared, which seemed to sum up the Blues play in the match.
Glasgow got their third try just passed the hour mark. Alex Dunbar made a break through the Blues midfield and offloaded to Chris Fusaro touch down. Rory Jackson added the simple conversion.
Glasgow sealed the bonus point in the 76minute when Cusiter went on a break down the left and offloaded out of Halfpenny's tackle for Colin Shaw to run in under the posts. Jackson converted and Glasgow had got their second bonus point win over the Blues in a season.
