Recap by phillip woo

Well-backed Miracle Victory kept on gamely for the win after hitting the front 330m out chasing the leader on the fence from an inside draw. He's taken his game to a new level to win both starts after getting gelded during the off-season. Trust Me ran on well to finish a close second after a handy run one off the fence. He rarely produces a bad run over this trip. Durham Star came from towards the rear to just edge odds-on favourite Golden Empire after a patient ride third last from a wide draw. He's caught the eye in his past two runs for his new trainer and seems to be crying out for 1,400m or even a mile. Golden Empire just lost a placing on the wire after a rails run behind midfield but was caught up in traffic at times in the stretch run. He's still learning and was carrying six pounds more following a win. Bella Baby got going late down the outside without menacing the top-four after a patient ride one from the rear. He needs a stronger pace. Momentum Galaxy plodded after a prominent run on the fence. He's in the right grade but is better suited at the Valley. Encore was stopping 250m out after clearing to the front 900m out. He'll need more time and education.
