Recap by phillip woo
After surging to the lead near the inside 150m out, Take Action just held on by a nose for a maiden win at his eighth start. Ninja Derby ran on nicely near the outside to finish a close second after settling one off travelling midfield. He had held his own in three consecutive runs at this level. Sturdy Ruby ran on nicely late down the outside for third after settling last from gate 10. It was another good run following a last-start win. Apolar Fighter just outdashed Snowalot to finish a distant fourth after making his run five back and one off the fence. He's naturally been coming to hand in his three starts following a stable transfer. Snowalot just failed to get up for fourth after biding his time two from the rear. It was his best run. Windicator Family made a steady bid to finish next best after getting briefly held up behind the tiring Double Win 150m out following a patient ride three from the rear. He might be one worth considering shortly in Class Five. Punted late, Double Win peaked on his run near the 100m after briefly leading 200m out following a prominent run on the fence. He had no excuse.
