Recap by phillip woo
The Boom Box let down nicely from behind midfield to just get the better of favourite King Lotus at his first time of asking over the Valley 1,650m for a fourth career win at his ninth start. King Lotus found one better on the day after a speed-tracking run outside Mighty Steed. He's holding his form very well to place in three consecutive runs at this level following a win. Mighty Steed would not go down without a fight after mustering to lead 1,300m out from gate 12. It was an improved effort at his second run in the grade after a win. Storming Dragon ran on nicely to snatch fourth after a one-off trip from behind midfield. It was his best effort from three straight runs following a step up to 1,650m. Punted late Keen Molly just held his ground after a prominent run. He had no excuse. Nova Knight kept on one paced after settling fifth and one off the fence. It was a better effort with a switch to the Valley and step up to 1,650m at his third local start. A Americ Te Specso ran on late without threatening down the outside after making his run at the rear. He wasn't suited by the muddling pace.
