Recap by phillip woo
Swift Ascend settled midfield on the rails, peeled out for a clear run on straightening and took control 100m out for a third win from four starts this season for his new trainer. Meowth ran on nicely for second after a prominent run. It was another solid effort up in grade following a debut win. Majestic Express ran on nicely for third after a rails run from behind midfield. He might be crying out for a longer trip now. Awesome Treasure kept on well for fourth after assuming the lead from Golden Luck 400m out. It was his best effort from seven runs in the grade. Golden Luck was on his tippy toes 100m out after clearing to the lead 750m out from a wide draw. He's a Class Four horse. Lucky Archangel stayed on next best after a one-off trip from better than midfield. He prefers the Valley. Endued had an excuse when badly impeded at the head of the straight. Jockey Zac Purton was lucky to stay on Super Infinity after nearly coming down when trying to avoid a fallen horse at the top of the straight.
