Recap by phillip woo
Favourite Sparkling Sword stalked the leader Spirit Soaring one off the fence, wore that one down to lead 100m out and just held off the late surge of Kitaya for the win. Kitaya was posted without cover in third for a majority of the race from a wide gate and kept on nicely five deep to make it a thriller on the line. He'll be winning shortly. Rock The Tree settled one off the fence in fifth, swung the final bend with two wider out and ran down Spirit Soaring in deep stretch for a placing. Spirit Soaring set a steady clip on the lead, cornered nearly a length on top and grudgingly gave way in the run to the wire. Oxford Charley travelled with cover three deep in midfield, peeled widest upon straightening and ran on steadily without menacing. Go-Getter was only one-paced four deep in the drive to the wire following a box-seat run. Backbench Blues was only plodding after travelling behind midfield and one off the fence. Telephatia switched into the clear with one wider out after travelling fourth from the rear and only held his ground when asked for an effort.
