Recap by phillip woo

Firming favourite Raging Storm shot clear at the 250m following a prominent run without cover to ring up a second win from four starts. Bulb Elite just out-finished Falcon Turbo down the outside after settling third from the rear to grab second 30m out. Falcon Turbo finished nicely after a deep run with cover beyond midfield to overhaul So Fast 20m out for third. He's acclimatising nicely on his four starts. So Fast had to settle for fourth in the end after chasing the speed one off. He's honest but has limited upside off his current mark. Lucky Hero produced only a grinding effort after travelling worse than midfield. Eagle came up one-paced when asked for an effort following a midfield run. He likely had a case of seconditis after catching the eye in his debut.
