Recap by phillip woo

Don't Miss led and never looked back to notch a third win following a step up to the Valley mile in his past five starts. His natural gate speed is an asset and he might have what it takes to win another. Favourite Har Har Heart ran on steadily following a rail run in midfield to wear down Roman Impero for second. He doesn't know how to run a bad race over this Valley trip. Roman Impero had his chance following a prominent run on the fence. He's had a terrific campaign and might be near his mark. Magnetism finished well travelling worse than midfield to get the bob down for fourth. He's recaptured some form in his past two starts but does appear to need some rating relief. The Judge stayed on all right following a handy run. He's borderline between Class Three and Four and might need a wet track. Top Laurels made some ground down the outside after a deep run beyond midfield from a wide gate. It wasn't a bad run but isn't an easy one to get right.
