Recap by phillip woo

Favourite Mi Blanco overhauled Corre Rapido 40m out for a maiden win at his 19th start. He was suited by the pace but had always been knocking on the door on this surface. Corre Rapido found one too good in the end after cruising to the lead 300m out following a perfect run. The rise in distance made him vulnerable late. Punted late Best Effort stayed on well from behind midfield to fill a placing. He's a winner waiting to happen at a mile on either surface. Flying Noble grudgingly gave way after setting good fractions early on. It was a good run in defeat following a downgrade but the 1,200m suits him better. Little Fantasy left things too late after going back from a wide gate. It was an honest effort and he's one to keep safe from a better draw. Lucky Storm made only a mild bid after a deep run in midfield. He's better suited on the turf. Triumphal Win's made some ground without menacing from near the back. He too prefers the turf.
