Recap by phillip woo
Mighty Steed led at a slow pace from gate four and kept finding when attacked in the straight run by Circuit Century to ring up a second career win at his 26th start. He lived up to his solid Valley 1,650m form in Class Four. Firefoot stayed on nicely for second after shifting into the open 250m out following a box-seat run. He's as honest as the day is long. Circuit Century held on gamely for third after doing it tough three wide without cover near the front from gate eight. It was a much-improved effort at his first start over the Valley 1,650m. Favourite Precision Hope just failed to get up for a placing after a one-off trip from better than midfield. He was given every chance but should come on for the run. Decision Link ran on steadily for fifth settling midfield on the fence after being restrained from a wide gate at the jump. He rarely produces a bad run over this course. Casa Rochester ran on without threatening down the outside after making his run wide towards the rear. He wasn't suited by the muddling pace. The Azure finished next best after peaking on his run 100m out following a bid 500m out from behind midfield.
