Recap by phillip woo

Punted late, Sight Happy finished strongly with one wider out to just grab long-time leader Affirm after settling three wide towards the rear for a first win at his ninth start. Affirm did everything right but could not get the win after finding the lead from gate four. He continues to race well and a maiden win is around the corner. Happy Soul ran on nicely for third after only gaining a clear run 200m out straightening last ridden back from gate 11. He's close to a win if he can draw a proper gate. Ka Ying Power stayed on better to just miss a placing after settling behind midfield after a sluggish start. It was clearly his best performance from eight starts. Ragnarr finished off nicely along the inside to just miss the frame after biding his time second last from gate 12. He's an improved runner following a move to blinkers in his past two starts. Big Red kept on all right following a prominent run on the fence at his first start in 210 days following a ligament injury. Valhalla only plodded when asked for more following a handy run with cover. Fatal Blow will sleep well after sitting wide without cover.
