Recap by phillip woo

After recovering from a sluggish start to travel box seat, firming favourite Bottomuptogether got up 60m out for a fourth win from eight starts. He handled a move to the Valley with aplomb and can win again. Stellar Express ran on nicely to grab second in the shadows of the post after finding a spot one off with cover travelling midfield from the widest draw. He acquitted himself very well in his first run at the Valley after a last-start win. Youthful Spirits wouldn't go down without a fight after finding the lead from gate three. It was a solid run up in grade off a light weight. Majestic Knight got going late near the inside to finish a close fourth after a patient ride three from the rear. It was a return to form over his favourite Valley 1,000m but the big weight did cost him. Tomodachi Kokoroe got going late for fifth without threatening the top four after settling last following a tardy start. He's crying out for a return to his favourite Valley 1,200m. Punted late, Healthy Healthy got going late down the outside to pick up a minor cheque following a patient ride second last from gate six. He's at best a Class Three horse.
