Recap by phillip woo
Prominent one of with cover from gate 12, Definitive got up in the dying stages though the centre to just defeat Prestige Always for a second Valley 1,650m win from 10 starts this term. Prestige Always led from gate 10 and fought on gamely to just get the head down for second after getting pressured for the lead from the 500m. He's a winner in waiting. Samarkand stayed on a close third after a box-seat run. He rarely produces a bad run over this course. Sure Joyful just scrambled in for fourth after settling midfield on the fence from gate five. It was another positive showing following a last start win in Class Four. Punted late Stellar Swift ran on late to just miss a Quartet spot after making his run third last from gate 11. It wasn't a bad effort at his first start over the Valley 1,650m. A Americ Te Specso was getting going late to finish on the bottom of a three-horse battle for fourth after biding his time three from the rear. Favourite Lucky Touch was a non-factor after a slow start. Excellence Value was on his tippy toes 150m out after circling the field 700m out to vie for the lead three deep 500m out.
