Recap by phillip woo
Favourite South Star had the perfect trip in fifth along the fence and after shooting to the front 160m out, he won geared down for a third win and from nine starts. A Americ Te Specso came from last and widest out to grab second. He appreciated the step up in distance after making good ground late for sixth last month over 1,200m. Ivy League stayed on well for third after a prominent run one off the fence. It was another good effort after ending last season in a good patch of form. Veteran Atullibigeal worked home well near the inside for fourth after a rails run from behind midfield. It was his best effort from three career outings over the Valley 1,650m. Top Time made a steady bid for fifth after a one-off trip from midfield. It was an okay effort on his return to the Valley 1,650m after notching placings in two earlier 1,400m runs this term. Star Contact had his chance but kept on one paced after a box-seat run. Noble Pursuit ran on without threatening after making his run two from the rear. Heavily backed Lovero tamely faded after crossing to lead near the 1,200m from gate 11.
