Recap by phillip woo

In a thriller, Blocker Dee lunged late following a handy run along the fence to put the head down to finish level for the win with Sea Jade to continue his fine form over this Valley trip. He's never one to omit over this course and distance. Firming favourite Sea Jade reclaimed the front 200m out after handing up the lead to Molly's Jade Star and kept on gamely carrying a light weight to remain unbeaten in his four starts over this course and distance despite a rise in class. He's a horse for a course and the winning won't be over yet. Lucky Year stayed on well travelling worse than midfield to finish a close third. The difference in the end was the big weight. Archippus finished strongly travelling third from the rear after copping a check 500m out. He might have gone close to winning in a trouble-free run. Almababy faded following a prominent run without cover. He had excuses but may be near his mark on this surface though did go close to winning two back on the dirt which is an option. Plunged late, Molly's Jade Star was on his tippy toes 150m out after being hustled to lead 700m out from a wide gate.

MOLLY'S JADE STAR, from the outside barrier, was ridden along for a considerable distance in the early stages to obtain a forward position and raced wide and without cover until after the 800 Metres.

Making the first turn near the 1050 Metres, APOLLO'S CHOICE was crowded for room between BLOCKER DEE and LUCKY YEAR which, after shifting in, then got its head on the side and shifted in further away from ALMABABY.

Approaching the 1000 Metres, STRATHMORE shifted in and bumped ALMABABY.

When the tempo of the race steadied after the 600 Metres, APOLLO'S CHOICE was checked away from the heels of BLOCKER DEE.
