Recap by phillip woo
Super Charizzard just got up in the concluding stages after a box-seat run for a first win at his 11th start. He was able to build on a career-best fourth last start over the same Valley 1,200m. Winning Heart ran on nicely after a rails run from midfield to just snare second. He's a winner waiting to happen with placings in his past two starts in this grade. Alloy King wouldn't go down without a fight after pinging the start from gate five. He's always a chance over this Valley trip. Verbier ran on late for fourth without threatening the top three after a one-off trip from midfield. It was another honest effort. Cosmo Navigator grudgingly gave way after a pace-stalking run from gate six. The big weight took its toll. Cheer For South ran on without threatening after making his run wide towards the rear from an outside draw. Firming favourite Ruby Sailing only plugged on one paced when asked for an effort after a prominent run one off the fence with cover. Country Dancer was held up and then hampered in the concluding stages when trying to get in on the act ridden for luck out the back from gate 12.
