Recap by phillip woo

Favourite Divine Boy was allowed to find his feet second from the rear from a wide gate, swung the final bend with one wider out and quickened brilliantly to win going away 100m out for a second straight win. Fantastic Feeling settled three deep beyond midfield, shifted into the open with two wider out soon after straightening and finished willingly to grab second 50m out. Forever Red ran on nicely three deep following a one-off run in midfield to add further value to the tierce. Specked late, Hella Hedge parked one off in second tracking the genuine pace of Harbour Alert from a wide gate, rolled to the front 250m out and lost a placing 50m out. He only needs to draw a good marble. Punted late, Joyeux kept on all right after a torrid run near the speed. Tango Fire ran on four deep without menacing after travelling fourth from the rear. Longwah Silent was only one-paced over the final 150m following a box-seat run. Harbour Alert punctured 150m out.
