Recap by phillip woo

Hit The Bid was held up second from the rear from a wide gate until take closer order in midfield coming to the final bend, shifted four deep at the 350m and quickened well to take control 50m out for the win and land a betting move with a return to Class Four. Early favourite Lovely Naughty led, cornered narrowly on top from Call Me Achiever, built a near two-length margin at the 200m and found one too good in the end. Post-time choice Chin Chun enjoyed a lovely run on the back of the speed, straightened three deep and came up one-paced over the last 100m with every chance. Call Me Achiever weakened over the final 100m after pressing the leader off a light weight. Cheers Victories travelled behind midfield along the rails, popped one off at the 800m, straightened three deep and ran on steadily without menacing. Peace On Earth settled fourth from the rear and made some ground late near the inside. Danewin Tiger was at the tail following a slow break and made some progress late down the outside without menacing. Real Fit settled effectively one-out, one-back when failing to match them for the lead and was struggling 300m out.
