Near the 450 Metres, SHINING GEM got its head on the side and lay out and was awkwardly placed inside the heels of SPARKLING DRAGON which was inclined to lay in.
Near the 50 Metres, TORNADO TWIST, which was finishing off the race well, was shifted out away from the heels of SPARKLING DRAGON to continue improving.

Recap by phillip woo
Shining Ace was too good after assuming the lead 450m out following a rail run tracking the speed to ring up a fourth win at both tracks from 13 starts this term. He's just a freak over this course. Winning Method ran on well near the outside to grab a placing passing the 50m following a patient ride fourth from the back. Sparkling Dragon stayed on well for a placing after travelling worse than midfield. He finds it hard in this grade. Seven Heavens ran on a non-threatening fourth after a rail run fore of midfield. Tornado Twist closed off well from near the back despite being short of room at times in the drive. It was a pleasing effort following a stable change. This Is Class didn't have much left in the tank 150m out after getting caught deep without cover near the speed. Favourite Amazing Star was gone 200m out after vying for the lead between runners. Larson did not fire following a handy run one off the fence. The rise in class and distance worked against him.
