Recap by phillip woo
M Unicorn just scrambled in after easily darting to the lead 200m out following a patient ride three from the rear. It was his fourth win from his past six starts over the Valley 1,650m. Quantum Patch ran on nicely from last to come up a neck short. He clearly has what it takes to add to an earlier win following seconds in two of his past three starts. California Voce ran on steadily for third after a rails run from behind midfield. It was his best run from six starts on return to the Valley 1,650m. Well-backed All Beauty finished well down the outside for fourth after settling second-last from gate 10. He's racing well without winning. Solid Impact stayed on OK from better than midfield. It was a pleasing effort trying the Valley 1,650m for the first time. Ivy League whacked on without any excuse after a rails run from midfield. He just hasn't been good enough in four starts since a win in October. The sensationally backed Lucky Eight didn't quite see out the trip after a box-seat run. Tourbillon Prince was stopping 100m out after rushing to the front 1,200m out from gate nine. He couldn't handle the rise in weight.
