Recap by phillip woo
Favourite Crimson Flash settled prominently one off the fence and took control 60m out out to provide a fifth win on the night for trainer Mark Newnham. He's now won three of four starts over the Valley 1,200m. Brave Star ran on nicely to grab second after a rails run from behind midfield. It was another honest performance over the Valley 1,200m. Young Champion finished strongly through the centre to just miss second after getting hampered to have one behind him at the 1,000m. He's trending towards a win with placings in three consecutive runs across both tracks. Romantic Son found a few just too good after surging to the lead near the inside 150m out following a box-seat run. It was a run with merit after back-to-back wins in a lesser grade. Son Pak Fu made headway late for sixth after making his run fourth last from gate two. He will be looking forward to a drop into Class Three. Colourful King was next best but had nothing go right after getting squeezed out to last at the jump and blocked for a clear run until the 100m. Chateauneuf didn't have much left in the tank over the final 100m after a speed-tracking run.
