Recap by phillip woo

Favourite Coby Oppa just got up in the last strides after settling prominent on the fence to up his dirt record to three wins from four starts. He remains one to follow on this surface. Red Desert reclaimed the front after handing up the lead to the well-backed Winner Supreme 800m out and was just denied late. He has been able to transfer his good form on the turf to the dirt. Winner Supreme was on his tippy toes 100m after rushing to the front 800m out from a wide gate. It was a good effort carrying a big weight. Nuclear Power ran on to finish a non-threatening fourth travelling worse than midfield on the fence. He's not too far off a bottom. Encore Boy was yielding ground 150m out after being hustled to settle prominent in the run. He requires help from the handicapper. Mega Red ran on without menacing from behind midfield. He's still trying to find his mark. Strathclyde came up flat in midfield. He's looking towards Class Four.
