Recap by phillip woo
Following a box-seat run, Lovero just scrambled home after hitting the front 150m out for a first win at his fifth local start. He lived up to his recent second when he stepped down in grade to try the Valley 1,650m, but will need to raise his game next start in Class Three. Post-time favourite Sturdy Ruby dashed well along the inside to finish a close second after a patient ride two from the rear. He keeps promising without delivering, but it was his best effort to date from 10 starts. Win Win Fighter dashed well to finish a close third after making his run five back on the fence. It was another good effort following a win. Early favourite Dragon Star kept on reasonably well to just hold fourth after stalking the pace. He's better when allowed to bowl along in front. Galvanic ran on steadily to just miss the frame after settling on the rail in midfield. He went OK trying the 1,650m for the first time. Kasa Papa weaved near the inside to finish next best after biding his time three from the rear. Gallant Crown had nothing left in the tank over the last 100m after clearing to the lead 1,400m out.
