Recap by phillip woo
Odds-on favourite Seasons Wit just scrambled in from the fast-finishing Explosive Witness after hitting the front 150m out for a third straight win over the Valley 1,000m. He'll return a Class Two horse but there's likely more to come from the three-year-old. Class dropper Explosive Witness came with a ducking-and-weaving run to make it very close on the wire. He relished the downgrade and return to his favourite Valley 1,000m. The well-backed Harmony N Blessed kept on gamely for third after dictating the run as expected from gate three. He's done very well to place in his past three starts after a win in April. Lucky Gold ran on nicely from towards the rear to fill a first-four spot. It was a good effort trying the Valley 1,200m for the first time after winning two of his past three over 1,400m in Class Four. Specked late, E Universe stuck on all right after chasing the speed wide without cover for the entire trip from gate 12. Humble Star made some ground late from towards the rear after shifting off heels for a clear run 200m out.
