Recap by phillip woo

Silver Express kept on gamely after turning the final bend two lengths on top leading from a wide gate 1,050m out for a second win from four starts this term. It was a solid performance. Well-backed Good Luck Friend ran on well after a one-off run fore of midfield to make it close on the wire. He relished a return to the course and distance of a placing two runs back and had the services of Joao Moreira. Ima Single Man finished nicely two from the right after a patient ride two from the rear to fill a placing. He relished a step back to the distance of two earlier wins. Well-backed Winner Method kept on well to fill a first-four spot after a prominent run wide without cover. It was a pleasing effort. Early favourite Navas Two gave them too much of a head start at the rear from gate 13 but closed well down the outside to finish next best. Winning Method ran on without menacing after making his run near the inside behind midfield. The rise in weight took its after a last-start win. The Golden Scenery made some ground without ever looking a threat after a rails run in midfield. He requires a stronger rider.
