Recap by phillip woo
The usually consistent Oriental Fantasia was given a nice ride to take the sit after jumping alertly from gate one before reclaiming the front 180m out for the win with a tonne of money for him late. He's always a chance at this level. Great Speed closed off soundly from near the back after a sluggish break to grab second for a third straight run. He's a winning waiting to happen. Shining Champion built up a full head of steam and finished nicely after sitting third from the rear to snatch a placing. He's run well off a higher mark in the past and the drop in grade was the key to his improvement. Intellectual Glide peaked on his run 100m out following a midfield run. He needed the run. Idyllic Wind had his chance following a prominent run. Body weight was too high. Optimism ran on without menacing one from the back. He'll come on from this run. Rugby Diamond knocked up badly after hunting to the lead 900m out from a tricky gate. He's not genuine.
