Recap by phillip woo
Awesome Fluke just got up in the final stages after tracking leader Liveandletlive one-off the rail for a third win and first at the Valley from 18 local starts. He's a capable runner on his day and appreciated a move to a 5lb claimer after a mile defeat last month. The well-backed Sky Vino ran on nicely to finish a close second after settling effectively one-out, one-back. It was a good run at his first start over the Valley 1,800m. Punted late, Liveandletlive was swamped late after straightening a length on top. He'll get away with a race shortly after two good runs this term. Star Mac came from last to place fourth. He can bob up at any moment after hitting the line well in his past three of four starts this term. A Americ Te Specso ran on late to just miss a top-four spot after making his run fourth last from a wide draw. It was another good run with a step up to 1,800m after two eye-catching runs to place over a mile trip. Favourite Wrote A New Page wasn't too far off the finish in the end after a one-off trip from midfield. Charity Gain was withdrawn after unseating his rider and taking off.
