The performance of DIAMOND FLARE was considered to be disappointing as compared to its recent starts.

Recap by phillip woo
Strive For Glory swooped down the outside to win going away after making his run out the back from gate 10. It was his first win in Class Four. Following a prominent run, well-backed Speedy Smartie did everything right but could not get the win after rushing to the lead 200m out. He's run well following a switch to the dirt in his past three starts. Solid Shalaa ran on well for third after getting out of a traffic jam 200m out following a rail run from behind midfield. It was a good run at his first go on the surface. Mayhem stayed on well for fourth after a one-off trip in midfield. He's run well with a switch to the dirt in his past two starts. After leading from gate 12, Valiant Elegance turned the final bend nearly three lengths on top but knocked up 100m out on his return to the surface of a past win off a similar mark. Jolly Companion kept on at one pace after a handy run on the fence. He's still settling in despite a downgrade and switch in surfaces. Favourite Diamond Flare was beaten approaching the straight after chasing the speed three wide from a tricky gate.
