Recap by phillip woo

D Star just held on after claiming the lead 50m out for a fourth career win and third from 13 starts over this course and distance. He had been out of form but was well placed on the back of a win last term off a rating of 59. Can't Go Wong finished nicely to make it a bob of heads after settling one off the rail and underneath the eventual winner. He's a winner waiting to happen. Punted late, Dragon Delight stayed on well to finish a close third after sitting third and one off the fence with cover. He was able to back up a nice win in Class Five. Favourite Mighty Steed found a few just too good after surging to the lead 150m out along the inside after a box-seat run. He has the tools to win one soon in this grade. Escape Route came from last for fifth without threatening the top four. It was a positive effort on his season reappearance down in Class Four. Flying Silver kept on OK after a rail run in midfield. Well-backed late, Greenwich didn't get the mile trip after clearing to lead 1,200m out from a tricky gate. Enshine was withdrawn by order of the stewards on vet advice.
