Recap by phillip woo
Short-priced favourite Self Improvement repelled a stern challenge from Euro Rock after hitting the front near the 200m following a speed-chasing run for a first local win at his fifth start. He had been knocking on the door and lived up to some solid trial form. Euro Rocks gave Self Improvement a run for his money after tracking the eventual winner in third. He had flashed ability in two of four local runs last term and handled the switch to dirt without a hitch. Fiery Diamond got going late to finish a distant third travelling fourth on the fence after a tardy start. He's an honest performer on this surface. Imperial Magee came from last to finish next best. He's a Class Four horse. Plunged late in betting, O'Liner weakened over the last 100m after getting his own way in front from gate one. It was another ordinary effort with a switch in surfaces. California Cible never fired a shot from near the rear. His experiment on the dirt surface didn't have the expected result.
