Recap by phillip woo
Lady's Choice led and never looked back for a fourth win from 25 starts and second from four outings this term. He did trial well after an out-of-character performance last start. Goko Win just got the bob for second after a prominent run on the fence. He's mixing his form but nearly won two runs ago over the Valley 1,200m. Lucky Eight just failed to get up for a second after a handy run one off with cover. He ran well with a return to the course and distance of an opening win this season in Class Four. Magnificent Nine ran on well for fourth after getting roughed up 400m out following a patient ride four from the rear. He's honest but has trouble winning. Great State ran on well for fifth after making his run settling third last from gate 11. It was a better effort. Favourite Young Superstar was yielding ground 100m out after tracking the speed in third. He's at his best when allowed to bowl along in front. Sugar Ball only plodded after getting unbalanced 400m out travelling one of from behind midfield.
