Recap by phillip woo
Ka Ying Star just held off a couple of unlucky runners after getting a relatively easy time in front. He had things run to suit and deserved the win after producing some good runs against the best all season long. Southern Legend kept plugging away to make it close on the wire despite getting posted deep at times in a prominent spot carrying top weight. It was a solid run in defeat. Fast Most Furious rallied strongly to finish a close third after getting held up for a run until peeling out 150m out following a patient ride third from the rear. General's Delight stayed on well following a prominent run but was no match for the top pair. Nevertheless, it was a solid effort despite being poorly handicapped. Punted late Preciousship was all dressed up with nowhere to go after a midfield run on the fence. He should have made it interesting on the wire.
