Recap by phillip woo
Another Zonda settled in the box seat before assuming the lead 700m and pinching a break for a second win and first in the grade from 10 starts. Romantic Laos ran on well for second after a one-off trip from behind midfield. He rarely produces a bad run over this Valley trip. Harmony Galaxy stayed on for third after a one-off trip from midfield. It was an improved effort at his second straight Class Three run following back-to-back wins over the Valley 1,800m. Sturdy Ruby ran on late for fourth without threatening the first three after making his run fourth last despite gate one. He has not produced a bad run in six straight Class Threes. Favourite Stellar Swift ran on steadily for fifth after making his run behind midfield on the fence. He has picked up minor prize money in four of his past five runs but does appear to be on his mark. Aestheticism ran on without threatening after making his run one from the rear. Sky Trust didn't have much to offer in the straight run after landing a spot on the back of the leader and well-backed Outgate from gate 11. He wasn't suited by the quick tempo.
