Recap by phillip woo

Drifting late in betting Noble Fans was patiently ridden fourth last from gate 10 and zoomed home late down the outside to take control 60m out for a second win from 22 starts. He was able to build on a runner-up effort last start. Lakeshore Hero finished strongly for second after making his run third last from gate 12. He's a winner in waiting with second both times over the Valley 1,200m in Class Five from four starts this term. Whacked to jump favourite Always Fluke stayed on well for third after turning the final bend three wide travelling better than midfield. It was another honest effort. Chill Master ran on late through the centre for fourth after making his run second last from gate eight. He's getting closer with each start. Majestic Delight stayed on for fifth after a rails run from better than midfield. Russet Glow ran on late without threatening after making his run at the rear from gate nine. Majestic Life came on late near the outside to finish next best after a one-off trip from behind midfield. Early favourite Free Pony threw in the towel after getting badly hampered 200m out following a rails run.
