Recap by phillip woo

Ernest Feeling missed the start and was held up near the 300m marker, but he regained his momentum and quickened nicely to overhaul favourite Vantastic Choice in the last bound. His third 1,400m success this term was a nice parting gift for Richard Gibson. Vantastic Choice found one too good after racing prominently wide without cover from gate six and hitting the lead near the 200m pole. He is a winner waiting to happen if he remains in this grade. Fortune Master stayed on well from better than midfield to fill a placing. He was able to build on his last-start third. Punted late, Master Of Luck gave way after clearing to the lead from barrier 12. This Is Charisma came from towards the rear to pick up a minor cheque. It was a better effort after finding little in five previous outings. Noble Ace was stopping 100m out after his pace-stalking run from gate eight. Starship Eighty ran on from the rear of the field without threatening the placegetters.
