Le Pine Funerals (Bm78)
Diamond Valores, who previously showed potential with the Peter and Paul Snowden stable, scored very good first-up win for new trainer Darren Weir. He settled well, just beyond midfield (wide with cover) before switching wider out on passing the 400m. He then ran on strongly to take the lead on passing the 100m and then went on to win impressively in a smart performance. He looks to have a good future in Victoria.
