Recap by phillip woo
Everstar settled prominently and took control 150m out for a first win at his seventh local start. The writing was on the wall after a close fourth last start. Veteran Lucky Archangel ran on well for second after making his run better than midfield from gate six. He's close to an eighth career win with placings in back-to-back runs. Favourite Nebraskan had to settle for third after a speed-tracking run from gate nine. He's a winner waiting to happen with placings in three consecutive runs. Metal King just got the head down for fourth after finding a position one off travelling midfield. It was a much-improved effort at his second ever start over the Valley 1,200m. Specked late in betting, Spicy Spangle lost fourth late after a box-seat run. He's gone OK in back-to-back runs following a win. Rich Horse ran on without threatening after a one-off trip from behind midfield. Colonel was stopping 150m out after getting his own way in front from gate 10. Punted late Happy Trio went amiss and quickly sank through the field 800m out following a handy run.
