Recap by phillip woo
King Oberon travelled wide without cover in midfield and wore down post-time favourite Pejibaye 50m out to make it three wins and two on the bounce over the Valley 1,200m from his past six starts. Pejibaye found one too good on the day after poking his head in front 150m out sitting third in the run with cover from gate 10. It was a solid run carrying 10lb more on his Valley debut. California Bay finished strongly to just take third after a one-off trip travelling worse than midfield. It was an improved effort at his first go over the Valley 1,200m from four outings this term. Everstar ran on nicely to just miss a placing after a wide trip with cover on the back of the eventual winner from gate 11. He's given a better sight in his past two down in Class Four from three starts this term. Early favourite Super Universal peaked on his run 50m out after briefly working to the lead 250m out following a speed-tracking run from gate five. He hasn't produced a bad run from his three goes over the Valley 1,200m from four starts this term. New Power ran on without threatening after biding his time third last from gate 12.
