Nicc too slick in Summer Sprinters Final

Red Hot Nicc's red hot form continued at The Valley on Sunday, taking out the $125,000 The Measure Engineering Valley Summer Sprinters Series Final.&nbsp; The Phillip Stokes-trained four-year-old started 2023 with impressive victories at Flemington and The Valley before a last start third, and he made it three wins from his past four starts when leading throughout the 1200m race.&nbsp; With Zac Spain doing the steering, Red Hot Nicc gave his rivals the slip turning for home.&nbsp; While there was a wall of horses doing the chasing - a gap of just a length covered second to fifth across the line - they couldn't catch the son of Nicconi.&nbsp; Red Hot Nicc, who jumped the $2.30 favourite, held a margin of 3/4 of-a-length over Extreme Flight.&nbsp; Spain described the gelding as 'tough', having had eight starts for the campaign which began back in November.&nbsp; "He's got good natural gate speed, he's got a high cruising speed and he can sustain it," Spain said.&nbsp; "He's as tough as nails and he's done a really good job this prep, he's been up a long time." The other feature on the Community Day card was The Orbit Logistics Valley Summer Stayers Series Final (2500m).&nbsp; A top front-running ride by apprentice Thomas Stockdale saw the Archie Alexander-trained Mr French lead all the way.&nbsp; Favourite Wagon Wheel chased hard once getting clear running in the straight, but fell a long neck short.&nbsp; Mr French has now won four of his past six starts.&nbsp; While there was no joy for favourite backers in The Orbit Logistics Valley Summer Stayers Series Final, a couple of odds-on favourites delivered mighty impressive performances. The opening race of the day - the Moonee Valley Park Plate - saw the Ciaron Maher and David Eustace-trained Tass pick up her maiden victory in emphatic fashion, putting four lengths on her nearest rival.&nbsp; On a day where the rail was the place to be, Ceasar was yet another who made the most of finding the front, putting a big space on his rivals in the Resolve Environmental Handicap (1600m).&nbsp; The Mike Moroney gelding had been knocking on the door of a win with a couple of close-up minor placings at The Valley at his past two starts, and broke through with a dominant 2 1/4 length victory over Kiptanui. The next meeting at The Valley will be on Saturday March 18, for Sharp EIT All-Star Mile day.&nbsp; To book your tickets, head to thevalley.com.au
