Recap by phillip woo
Win Method rushed forward to track the slow pace of Run Run Timing 1,000m out from gate five and took control 100m out for a second win from his past five starts. He handled a step up to a mile with aplomb. Run Run Timing was given every chance in front from gate one but found one better on the day. It was a solid effort up in grade following a win. Romantic Laos stayed on well near the outside for third after going forward three wide from gate nine to eventually find a spot in the box seat 1,200m out. He's always a chance in this grade. Vivacious Win ran on well for fourth after a wide trip with cover travelling behind midfield from gate 12. It was a good effort in a race run to suit those up front after back-to-back seconds. Celtic Times just held his ground for fifth without threatening the top four after a handy run one off the fence. It was an improved effort on his past two starts from a better draw. Dashing Maurison made good ground late near the outside for sixth after making his run third last from gate 11. It was a pleasing effort at his first Valley 1,650m run after improved performances in two prior starts over 1,600m.
