Recap by phillip woo
Nebraskan was much too good after pinging the start to lead from gate one for a first win at his 30th local start. Favourite Team Happy ran on well for second after a rails run from behind midfield following a tardy start. He was able to build on a fourth last start over this Valley trip. Turf Phoenix stayed on for third after a handy run one off the fence. It was his best performance in 17 starts following a stable change and return to the Valley 1,200m. Taihang Scenery ran on well for fourth after ducking inside for a clear run near the 100m following a patient ride second last from gate 11. He's racing much better of late sprinting over this course. Happy Boys made ground late through the centre for fifth after making his run three from the rear. It was an okay effort following a stable change. Punted late Bingo Babe produced a grinding effort after a one-off trip from midfield. Rich Horse just plodded when asked for more after a prominent run on the fence. Thousand Cups didn't have much to offer after working overtime to track the winner from gate 10.
