Recap by phillip woo
Veteran Turin Warrior was ridden patiently fourth last and finished strongly to edge out Can't Go Wong by a lip for a fourth win over the Valley 1,650m from 45 starts. He was able to build on a closing sixth first up this term. Can't Go Wong did everything right but get the win after racing to the lead 150m out following a one-off trip from midfield. Like the winner, he's always a chance over this course. Thesis ran on nicely to finish a head away in third after taking off from the rear 500m out. It was an improved effort second up despite gate 12. Take Action just held his ground after a one-out, one-back run. It was another honest performance. Quantum Patch was doing his best work late for fifth after making his run second last from gate 11. He hasn't produced a bad run carrying top weight in all four starts this term. Dashing Dragon made headway late through the centre after a patient ride third last from gate five. He'll be looking forward to a downgrade. Punted late Setanta made only a mild bid after a one-off trip from behind midfield. Like the latter, he'll be looking forward to a downgrade.
