Recap by phillip woo
In a blanket finish of seven runners, early favourite Everstar was wide with cover behind midfield and quickened nicely to get up by a nose for a second win from 15 starts. He had been knocking on the door and was reunited with the only rider to win on him. Post-time favourite Denfield was nipped on the wire after briefly leading close to home after a rails run from midfield. He's always a chance over the Valley 1,200m. Charming Steed just missed after a prominent run one off the fence. He was able to get on track on his return to a preferrable Valley 1,200m. Fatal Blow grudgingly gave way after leading 200m out following a speed-tracking run. It was a solid run downgraded carrying topweight from a wide draw. Punted late Newborn Miracle stayed on a close fifth after a box-seat run. He's performed better following a switch to the Valley 1,200m in his past two starts. Sweet Briar finished in the mix after sitting fifth in the run on the fence from gate one. It was a good run on his season debut for his new trainer. Roman Crown stayed on nicely after a wide trip without cover from midfield.
