Recap by phillip woo
Firming favourite Born In China won going away 150m out after a one-off run in midfield to beat a strong field. He loves this Valley trip. House Of Fun got up to grab second 100m out following a prominent run. He's honest but keeps finding one or a few too good sprinting at both tracks. California Whip closed off well to get the bob down late for third following a patient ride beyond midfield. He's stayed on well with a step back in distance to place in his past two starts but doesn't have much upside off his current mark. Topweight Archippus closed nicely to just miss a placing after losing some ground when inconvenienced 600m out travelling second from the rear. He doesn't know how to run a bad race over this course. Perpetual Joyance got going two from the right without menacing following a patient ride third from the rear. He's had a terrific campaign but the rise in class for this test was too rich.
