Recap by phillip woo
Well-backed Kyrus Dragon had a handy run along the inside before taking control 50m out for a third win over the Valley 1,200m from 19 starts. He was able to emulate a firstup win last season. Favourite Bienvenue found one too good after leading 200m out following a speed-tracking run. It was a good effort up in grade following a win. Victory Sky ran on steadily for fourth after a prominent run travelling outside the winner. It was another honest performance. Storming Dragon just got up to snatch fourth after a oneoff trip from midfield. He was carrying 8lb more following a win. Mighty Commander surged late to just miss a top four spot after a patient ride three from the rear. It wasn't a bad effort back in Class Three following a win last month. A Americ Te Specso made good ground late near the inside after a patient ride one from the rear. He needed the outing. Thumped late in betting, Sports Legend was on his tippy toes 100m out after rushing forward to lead from gate 12.
