Recap by phillip woo

Firming at short odds Winning Dreamer drew clear after hitting the front 200m out travelling near the speed from a low draw to remain unbeaten in two starts. He's destined for better things. Metro Warrior wouldn't go down without a fight after quickly finding the front from gate 10 on the stands side. He had shown ability in his debut from his opening two starts. California Archer got up for a placing after travelling midfield near the far side. He's capable of a big run on his day but isn't a prolific winner. Keep You Warm closed well to fill the frame after showing no gate speed travelling second from the rear. War Of Courage had nothing left in the last 100m after vying for the lead. He's had a terrific campaign and might be in need of a break now. Storm Warnings faded after pressing the early pace from gate five. He wasn't able to build on a positive debut effort last month and will need more time to acclimatise.
