Recap by phillip woo
Following a patient ride from behind midfield, favourite Fighting Machine edged clear after claiming the lead 40m out for a second win from 11 starts. Punted late, long-time leader Affirm skipped away by nearly three lengths at the 200m but was no match for the winner. He is always a speed threat. Mr Energia dashed well to just miss second after settling third last from a wide draw. It was a good run on his return to turf after a sweeping success earlier this month on dirt. Foxhunter King kept on well for fourth at huge odds following a box-seat run. It was a much-improved effort from a better draw at his third start. Take Action ran on with two wider out after making his run one from the rear. He has found the line better in both starts this term. California Banner came from last near the inside to finish next best. It was a positive showing in open company for the first time. Foolish Heart came up flat when asked for an effort from midfield on the fence. He likely needed the run following throat surgery in July.
