Inglis Premier
After showing promise in the first three starts, Valliano resumed to score a smart win here. He settled in fifth place, between runners from his good barrier (4), following a good tempo. He moved up nicely into third place nearing the 200m and after taking the lead at the 100m, he drew clear to win easily. Curvature was back in seventh place, wide with cover. He fanned deep coming to the home turn, went to fourth at the 100m and kept running on to take a good second without looking likely to trouble the winner. Lessyd again did not show much early pace and settled near the tail of the 13-horse field and remained there until nearing the home turn. He went very deep on straightening and caught the eye running on well, late for a really good third. Hey Doc was back in eighth place, wide with cover before improving (wide) rounding the home turn. He then kept running on quite well to take a sound (3.4 lengths) fourth.
