Recap by phillip woo
Metro Power made the running on the grandstand side from gate nine and never looked back for a first win at his fourth local start. Fast Responder wove a run late to grab second after biding his time fifth last from gate eight. It was another honest performance. Alsonso whacked on one-paced chasing the winner for third. He's close to a win with placings in four of his past five starts over the straight 1,000m. Lucky Eight ran on late for fourth after making his run three from the rear. It was another good first-up run. The All Out just held his ground after a prominent run. He's still only a three-year-old and will need more time to fill out. Lim's Shavano ran on late without threatening on the far side following a patient ride third last. Sugar Sugar made headway late from the rear of the field. He's a Valley horse. Lightness Of Music struggled over the last 200m after sitting third in the run from gate five. He wasn't ready to handle a rise in class.
