Recap by phillip woo

Punted late Sky Cap had a one-out, one-back run and after just leading 100m out, he just held on for a fourth win and third this season from 22 starts. He's always a chance sprinting over this course. Firming late in betting Pegas stayed on nicely near the inside to finish a close second after a box-seat run from gate one. It was a good effort at his first start over the Valley 1,000m. Bunta Baby finished full of run through the centre to finish a close third after a patient ride fifth last from gate six. He continues to add to his good form this season. Metro Power succumbed late for fourth after briefly leading 150m out following a speed-tracking run outside Copper Core. He hasn't been beaten far in three of four outings over the Valley 1,000m. Robot Lucky Star was doing his best work late for fifth after making his run second last from gate 10. It was a good effort for his new trainer. Favourite Together We Value only plodded when asked for an effort following a one-off trip from midfield. He performed below par. Central Bank gradually faded after a oneoff trip from better than midfield. Horsepower only beat a few ridden last from gate 11.
