Recap by phillip woo
Vantastic Choice kept finding for the win skipping three lengths clear 200m out after going forward three wide to lead rounding the first bend for a second win from three starts this term. Foolish Heart ran on nicely for second after a wide with cover run from midfield. He relished the downgrade after showing flashes of ability in five Class Three starts. Favourite Sky Heart ran on nicely for third after a three-to-four wide trip travelling behind midfield from gate 14. He'll be scoring shortly after catching the eye in both starts. Californiatotality made headway late down the outside for fourth after biding his time four from the rear. He's shown ability in his four starts. Lucky Gold ran on steadily to finish next best after a rails run from behind midfield. It was his best run of the campaign. Ballistic Win gradually faded after a pace-stalking run. He went okay following a change in tactics and rise in trip. I Can ran on without threatening after a one-off trip from behind midfield. It was another positive showing following a surprise third last Sunday. Chater Gold weakened after a handy run. He needs more time.
