Recap by phillip woo

Clever Beaver got in with cover one off in fourth from a wide gate, angled into the clear with two wider out at the 300m and closed off willingly to snatch victory from Gentilis in the shadows of the post. Gentilis went straight to the front from gate seven, was two lengths clear upon straightening and was nipped on the wire. He relished the claimer's allowance. Rainbow Fighter bided his time third from the rear along the fence, angled into the clear with one wider out at the 250m and finished nicely to come out a clear-cut third. Step Faster settled three back along the rails, switched out five deep at the 300m and ran on steadily to complete the Quartet. Early favourite Popping Candy settled one-out, one-back, rallied five deep upon straightening and made a mild bid. Peace And Prosperity made some ground early straight near the inside after travelling behind midfield on the paint, but came up one-paced over the last 100m. Secret Command made his run to the outside of Step Faster, straightened three deep and only held his ground over the last 100m as the late-fancied favourite. London Walk made some ground late near the inside after settling at the tail following a slow getaway.
