Recap by phillip woo
Starry Night just denied Strive For Glory to score a first win at his 15th start after getting a lovely run fourth on the fence. He had put the writing on the wall last start following a downgrade on dirt. Strive For Glory gave another cheeky sight after working to the lead 700m out. It was another good effort carrying top weight following a last-start win. Goodmanship plugged on gamely in a speed-chasing role to finish third without threatening the top two. He can get away with a race shortly in this grade. Jazz Steed plugged on all right for fourth after travelling effectively one-out, one-back. He prefers a faster surface. Favourite Tronic Mighty made good ground late to finish next best after making his run from third last after a tardy start. He had an excuse. Har Har At Heart ran on late without threatening after settling second last from the wide draw. He went a bit better following a downgrade. Treasure Of Field was yielding ground over the final 100m after getting caught wide from gate 11. Dragon Kingdom faded after chasing the speed wide without cover from a tricky gate.
