Recap by phillip woo
Odds-on choice, Gentilis made good use of his natural speed to easily lead from gate three, cornered near three lengths on top and kept on gamely for the win off a light weight. Clever Beaver settled one-out, one-back, swung the final bend with two wider out and finished well to nail Affluence Of Rain close to home for second. Affluence Of Rain took the short route home in midfield and just missed the Quinella spot. Both Sure swung the final bend with one wider out following a one off run in midfield and ran on steadily without threatening in fourth. He'll be hard to keep out of the placings next time out with this run underneath his belt. Photon Willie was posted deep with cover behind midfield, rounded the final bend five deep and was doing some nice work late in an improved performance. Groovy made some ground from the tail of the field after jumping slow. Caga Force weakened in the straight run after enjoying a dream run on the back of the speed. Brave Brother struggled after a no-cover run in midfield.
