Recap by phillip woo

Outsider Great Run settled second from the rear two off the stands side, switched into the open near the far side at the 250m and rattled home to grab victory in the shadows of the post with a drop in grade. Plunged late, Peace Combination was hustled to clear and lead at all costs from a tough gate, established a two-length margin at the 400m and was nipped on the wire. Noble Buddies was on his lonesome on the far side travelling fore of midfield, moved to second 100m out and just held off Sea Warrior for a placing. Sea Warrior closed off nicely after travelling behind midfield on the far side. Hammer King was unlucky not to have gone closer after having duck-and-weave about for a run following a midfield trip. Favourite Ruminare was handy in the run three off the grandstand side between runners, moved to second 200m out and gave way approaching the 100m in an unproductive debut effort. Free November settled fourth from the rear, shifting underneath the stopping Excitable Boy 250m out and made some ground thereafter. Glory Horsie was disappointing.

A Suborics was advised to ensure that he is sufficiently clear when shifting ground in similar circumstances.

For some distance after the 400 Metres, HAMMER KING was awkwardly placed close to the heels of GLORY HORSIE.

Over the concluding stages, HAY GO LUCKY was held up for clear running behind RUMINARE and consequently was not able to be ridden out all the way to the end of the race.
