Recap by phillip woo

Reliable Team led from a wide gate and just held off Beauty Smile for an upset win. He got away with slow fractions to remain unbeaten in two starts over this particular trip. Beauty Smile stayed on nicely to make it close on the wire after prompting the pace from a wide gate. It was a solid effort carrying top weight. Early favourite Savaquin made a good bid late near the inside to fill a placing travelling fourth last after badly missing the kick. He held his own up in grade off a light weight. Preciousship got going from behind midfield to fill the frame. It was his best run from eight starts this term. General's Delight made good progress from towards the rear to earn a minor cheque. It was a typical performance. The Rock made some progress late without threatening after settling fifth from the rear. He failed to click carrying more weight for this run. Master Montaro ran on without ever looking a threat near the outside after settling four back and one off the fence. He failed to handle a rise in class and distance on this occasion.
