Recap by phillip woo
Smashed late in betting, Cheerful Wongchoy led from barrier one and after leading by four lengths at one stage, he kept finding to make it back-to-back wins despite a return to Class Four following a switch to the Valley 1,650m. He's in a rich vein of form and can win again. Heavily backed Flying Boom roared home late through the centre to snatch second on the wire after making his run at the rear from gate 12. It was a better effort at his second consecutive run over the Valley 1,650m. Ace was just out finishing for second after a rails run from behind midfield. It was another good performance carrying top weight following a win. Favourite Amazing Gaze just missed a placing after a one-off trip from behind midfield. It was another honest performance this term. Kingman Reef surged late down the outside for fifth after making his run second last from gate 11. He can bob up at any moment. Jumbo Steps got going late near the outside for sixth after making his run three from the rear. Aestheticism ran on without threatening after a patient ride third last from gate five. He will be looking forward to a drop into Class Five.
