Recap by phillip woo
Well backed Flying Wrote travelled just worse than midfield one off and reeled in favourite Giant Ballon 60m out for a third Valley 1,200m win this season. He was able to build on a close second last start. Giant Ballon found one too good after moving to the lead 150m out following a rails run behind the leader Sky Cap from gate two. It was another good run carrying 9lb more after three consecutive wins. Punted late Storming Dragon ran on nicely for third after a one-off trip from behind midfield. He's as honest as the day is long. Chateauneuf just lost a placing late after a handy run on the fence from gate one. It was a return to form over his preferred Valley 1,200m. Sky Cap gradually faded after clearing to lead 700m out from gate 10. All Out For Six came up one paced after settling fourth and one off the fence from gate six. It was an OK effort at his first Valley start. A Americ Te Specso ran on without threatening after making his run three from the rear. King Miles was a non-factor travelling third last after badly dipping soon following the start. His rider was lucky to stay on board.
