Recap by phillip woo
Post-time favourite The Heir settled midfield on the rails and took the short route home to take control 50m out for a third win and back-to-back over the Valley 1,200m from 14 starts this term. He will now have to raise his game going forward in Class Three. Meowth found one too good after leading 200m out following a one-off trip travelling third from gate five. He rarely produces a bad run over this course. Vigor Eye stayed on for third without threatening the top two after a prominent run on the fence. He was able to brush off a flat effort last start. The Perfect Match made good ground late near the outside for fourth after a one-off trip settling behind midfield from gate 11. He's always a chance over the Valley 1,200m. Old-timer Phoenix Light produced a better run to get up for fifth after making his run second last from gate 12. Nebraskan was on his tippy toes 100m out after working hard to clear Winning Now 900m out for the lead from gate 11. He couldn't offset an 8lb rise in weight following a second consecutive win. Brown-lamped Bright Day just held his ground after a one-off trip from midfield. He struggled up in grade.
