Recap by phillip woo
Favourite Ten Flames settled nicely one off with cover in midfield, took closer order coming to the final bend, straightened four deep and wore down Joyeux in deep stretch for an overdue maiden win at his 11th start. He remains one to follow. Joyeux eventually cleared to lead 850m out, cornered near two lengths on top and kept up a good gallop. Rugby Diamond settled at the tail from a wide gate, swung the final bend five deep and finished nicely at a price to grab a placing. Winning Boy was ridden with patience third from the rear from a wide gate, straightened three from the right and closed off well to fill a Quartet spot. Planet Choice held the rails in third after handing up at the 850m, came one off upon straightening and was only one-paced under the pump over the final 200m. Plenty Of Speed was held up early straight behind the fading Planet Choice following a rail's run in midfield and didn't do much with clear running 200m out. Golden Bauhinia went forward from a tricky gate to press the leader 600m out, straightened five deep and was stopping 200m out. Jolly Posh was gone soon after straightening after a deep run with cover in midfield.
