Recap by phillip woo
Harmony Galaxy travelled one off in midfield and came with a perfectly-timed run with two wider out to just edge Kingly Demeanor to remain unbeaten three times over the Valley 1,800m. He did put the writing on the wall with a hard-charging third last start. Kingly Demeanor did everything right but get the win after a well-judged ride on the speed from gate four. He's back on track following seconds in back-to-back runs. Romantic Fantasy was storming home late with one wider out to finish a close third after biding his time one off travelling behind midfield. It was another fine performance up in grade after seconds in four previous starts in Class Five. Early favourite Noble Pursuit wasn't far away in fourth after a one-off trip from better than midfield. It was a better effort after failing to figure in two prior starts. Romantic Laos stayed on well for fifth after a prominent run with cover from gate 10. He should find his mark shortly in this grade. Smart City wasn't too far off the finish in the end but did have his chance after a box-seat run. Post-time favourite Enthralled ran on without threatening.
