Recap by phillip woo
Speed Dragon was ridden patiently second last from gate 10 and timed things perfectly to just deny Californiatotality for a third win from 13 starts. It was a terrific training feat first up off 241 days following a ligament injury, but he was a winner of his only other Valley 1,800m start. Well backed Californiatotality found one just too good on the day after poking his head in front 20m out following a box-seat run. He was able to build on an OK sixth last month. Encountered motored home late down the outside to finish a close third after biding his time two from the rear. He's caught the eye in both outings for his new trainer this term. Helene Feeling found a few just too good after going for home on top 300m out pushing forward to track the leader Telecom Fighters 1,450m out. It was a better performance. Jumbo Legend ran on well to finish on the bottom of a blanket finish of five following a one-off trip from behind midfield. Winning Dragon only plodded when asked for an effort after a one-out, one-back run. Lo Rider only beat a couple ridden for luck at the rear. He couldn't back up a win last start over the Valley 1,650m.
