Recap by phillip woo
Firming favourite Legend Winner tracked the speed from gate 11 before moving to the lead near the 100m and proving too smart for a first win at his ninth local run. He was able to build on a third last start at his initial Valley 1,650m run following a downgrade. Precision Hope ran on nicely for second after a rails run from behind midfield. He's trending towards a win after an improved fourth last start. Sure Joyful just held on for third after dictating the pace from gate nine. He can get away with a race shortly following front-running thirds in two of his past three starts. Viva Boss kept on a onepaced fourth after a box-seat run. It was clearly his best run to date with a step up to 1,650m. Noble Pursuit got going late near the inside for fifth after making his run third last from gate seven. It was a typical performance this season. Cheaha only plodded when asked for an effort following a one-out, one-back run. The change in tactics to sit closer in the run with a step up to 1,650m backfired after hitting the line well for fourth in back-top-back Valley 1,200m runs. Superb Kid ran on without threatening.
