Recap by phillip woo

Punted late, Somelovefromabove just got his head down to hold off Flow Water Flow after leading 50m out following a box-seat run for a maiden win at his sixth start. It was clearly his best run to date following a switch to the Valley. Debutant Flow Water Flow worked home strongly through the centre to just miss after finding a spot behind midfield on the fence. It was an eye-catching performance and he'll be winning in no time. Favourite Never Settle ran on nicely to finish a very close third after a one-off trip from midfield. He's a winner waiting to happen after catching the eye in both career starts over the Valley 1,200m. Sonic Pursuit found a few too good in the concluding stages after working to the lead 180m out following a speed-tracking run outside Fun Elite from gate 12. He's given a good sight in both outings this term after an injury-induced absence. Well backed late, Golden Luck just held his ground to finish fifth without threatening the top four after a one-out, one-back run. Tactical Command made ground late near the outside for sixth. It was a better effort on his return to the level of three wins last term.
