Recap by phillip woo
Joy Of Spring from behind midfield took over 60m out after a rail run to make it three wins from 16 starts and two wins from three starts over the Valley 1,800m. Cambridge found one too good after poking his head in front 150m out following a box-seat run. He proved an upset win last start was not a fluke. Flamingo Trillion wouldn't go down without a fight after dictating the pace carrying top weight from gate eight. It was an improved effort back in Class Three over his favourite Valley 1,800m. Good Luck Win battled away for fourth after a speed-tracking run from gate 10. It was an okay effort, but he's a better prospect down in Class Four company. Sturdy Ruby wasn't beaten far in the end after switching three wide following a one-off trip from midfield at the 800m. It wasn't a bad run with a step up to 1,800m. Allcash just won a three-way battle for sixth prize money travelling fourth last after rearing at the start. Punted late Star Mac ran on to finish next best after making his run one from the rear. Firming favourite Casa Rochester was disappointing after a rails run from better than midfield.
