Recap by phillip woo
Target Audience benefitted from a sterling ride, finding the fence from gate 11 behind midfield before showing a good turn of foot down the centre to mow down Four Stars Align for a third win from 11 starts. He's in a rich vein of form. Firming late in betting Four Stars Align was touched off late after leading 200m out following a speed-tracking run. He's trending towards a win after filling the frame in each of his three local runs. Punted late Flashing Fighter stayed on well for third after a one-off trip from midfield. It was another good run up in grade following a win. King Of Fighters dashed late to grab fourth after a patient ride third last from gate seven. He is always a chance over the Valley 1,200m. Kyrus Dragon ran on steadily through the centre for fifth after a rails run from midfield. Plunged late Spicy Standard ran on without menacing after a wide trip from behind midfield. Favourite Live Wire was gone 100m out after rushing forward to lead 1,050m out from gate one. Young Emperor came from last to finish next best.
