Recap by phillip woo
Young Archer had a one-off trip behind midfield and pipped Absolute Heart on the wire. He has acclimatised quickly after a win and second pre-import in Australia. Well-backed late, Absolute Heart came up just short after straightening two lengths on top and dictating the pace from gate six. It was a good effort carrying 9lb more following a win. Conghua Galaxy plugged on well for third after a speed-tracking run from gate 10 with late market action. He has run well to place in two of three local starts. Favourite Majestic Valour was only a grinding fourth after getting all favours.
