Recap by phillip woo
Firming favourite Corleone had a dream run in the box seat before shooting to the lead 200m out and keeping on for a third win and second from four Valley 1,650m runs this term. He has the tools to head higher. Viva Graciousness ran on nicely with two wider out to finish a close second after a prominent run one off the fence. He was able to build on a pleasing fourth last start. Uranus Star grudgingly gave way after leading from gate 10. He appreciated a return to the track and trip of a win in November. Fortunate Son made a steady bid near the inside for fourth after a rails run from midfield. It was an OK effort up in class following a win. Keefy made headway late with one wider out for fifth after getting posted three wide without cover travelling behind midfield from a tricky gate. It was an encouraging run carrying top weight. Win Beauty Viva made ground late down the outside to finish next best after making his run three wide travelling third last from the widest draw. He's given a decent sight once across each track from outside draws this term. Samarkand weakened over the final 150m after chasing the speed.
