Recap by phillip woo
Keefy tracked the speed, claimed the lead 150m out and kept on gamely for a fourth win from 34 starts and first from 11 outings this term. He did produce a better run two runs ago over 1,400m and trialled well. Post-time favourite Lucky Touch ran on nicely for second after a rails run from midfield. He's as honest as the day is long. Highland Rahy succumbed late after dictating the pace from gate seven. He's holding his condition well. Quantum Patch kept on well for fourth but did have his chance in the box seat. He's not a prolific winner but rarely produces a bad run over the Valley 1,650m. Casa Rochester ran on late for fifth after making his run five back on the fence. It wasn't a bad effort up in grade off a lighter weight following a win. Samarkand only plodded after a one-out, one-back run. He'll need to drop further in the handicaps. Fortunate Son made only a mild bid after a one-off trip from midfield. He couldn't build on a placing last start. M Unicorn never landed a blow after making his run three from the rear. He requires a stronger pace.
