Recap by phillip woo
It was a race about tactics. Mutual Joy sustained his run from the 700m after travelling second from the rear in moderately run race to get up in the final few metres for the win, his third from seven starts this term. It wasn't a strong Class Four but he'll remain in the grade and stay competitive off higher weights. Thumped late in betting, Sum Win Dragon was beaten for speed but eventually got going from the rear of the field and down the outside to make it close on the wire. He'll be hard to beat in Class Five if all doesn't pan out in up-and-coming starts. Favourite Midnite Promise grudgingly gave way after reclaiming the front 250m out. He's near a bottom. Amazing Feeling wouldn't go down without a fight after pushing forward to lead 700m out following a deep run without cover in a pleasing first effort over the mile. He has been threatening but his consistency keeps at the top of the weights which anchors him late. Cash Courier had his chance following a midfield run but came up flat over the final 150m. He's a dour type who needs a faster tempo.
