Recap by phillip woo
Well backed Without Compare circled the field from near last 900m out to just head off Keefy 750m out and just held on late for a first local win from five local starts. He had been racing well and the switch to the Valley worked the oracle. Keefy wouldn't go down without a fight after getting headed for the lead by Without Compare after dictating the early pace from gate four. He's racing well without winning. Beauty Alliance stayed on a close third after a box-seat run. He was able to back up a near Sha Tin 1,800m win last start in a higher grade. Solid Win ran on nicely through the centre for fourth without threatening the top three after making his run five back on the fence. It was another decent effort carrying 6lb more following a win. Thriving Brothers kept grinding away for fifth after turning the final bend travelling just better than midfield near the inside. It was another honest effort. Favourite California Moxie ran on without threatening down the outside after making his run five back and one off the fence. He was up in class and wasn't suited by the muddling pace. King Lotus only plodded from midfield.
