Recap by phillip woo
Youthful Spirits led and never looked back from gate four for just a second win from 24 local starts. He appreciated the light weight up in Class Two after placing in two earlier starts this term. Favourite Colourful King was closing with every stride for second after a patient ride second last from gate eight. He has sterling Valley form. Superb Capitalist kept on gamely for third after a box-seat run. It was another good run up in grade following wins in two his past three starts over the Valley 1,000m. Aurora Lady came from last to win a battle for fourth without threatening the top three. It was a good run outside his preferred 1,200m trip. Horsepower could manage only fifth prize money after a one-off trip from midfield. He was first up off a break but might be on his mark after copping a sharp penalty following an April win. Whizz Kid beat a few from near the rear. Stellar Express only plodded after a rails run from midfield. Harmony N Blessed will sleep well after getting posted wide and without cover the entire trip travelling midfield.
