Recap by phillip woo
Early favourite Expectator settled a distant third near the rails, made his move three deep at the 500m, swept to the front four from the right at the 150m and kept on nicely for a second straight win. Sensationally-backed to jump favourite, Golden Scalpel made his run along the fence in fourth, cornered five deep and finished well to grab Win It in deep stretch for second. Win It worked hard from an outside gate to eventually settle second behind the good pace of Jade Pippo, rushed to the front entering the straight and grudgingly gave way under pressure. One Of A Kind settled behind midfield along the rails, cornered three-to-four deep and ran on steadily without menacing in fourth. Very Well made his run third from the rear along the rails after a sluggish break, stayed to the inside upon straightening and was doing some nice work late. Specked late, Medic Swordsman settled one off in midfield, rallied five deep upon straightening and kept on one-paced.
