Horse No 5 BULL ATTITUDE (K305) Z Purton Raced keenly in the middle stages.
Z Purton could offer no explanation for the horse's disappointing performance.

Recap by phillip woo
Well backed Stormi stole the race after a perfectly-executed ride in front under Jerry Chau for a first win at his 16th local start. He was able to build on a speed-tracking second two runs ago. Punted late Vivacious Win ran on nicely to just grab second after a rails run from midfield. He did run well for fourth at his only Valley 1,650m run two starts ago. Early favourite California Moxie stormed home late through the centre to make it close for second after biding his time one from the rear from gate eight. It was a solid run carrying 10lb more following a win. Can't Go Wong was swamped late for a placing after getting all favours after a prominent run. It was another honest performance. Take Action made ground along the inside for fifth after a rails run from just worse than midfield following interference off the start. General Redwood was on his tippy toes 100m out following a speed-tracking run from gate 11. It was a better effort. Quick Contribution ran on steadily without threatening after a one-off trip from midfield. Post-time favourite Bull Attitude never really got into the act after making settling back.
