Recap by phillip woo
Confringo enjoyed the easier run to get the bob down and defeat favourite Podium for his first win at his eighth start. Podium ran on nicely to just miss after straightening with one wider out following a patient ride two from the rear. He's racing well. Punted late, Gallant Crown kept on well for third after getting his own way in front from gate 12. He can break through shortly after thirds in three consecutive runs. Superb Move kept on for an even fourth after settling box seat from gate eight. He's well rated and can bob up at any moment. Smashing Express ran on steadily for fifth after a one-off trip from behind midfield. He's better suited over a longer trip. Mr Good Vibes came from last to finish next best. It was an OK performance following a downgrade. Super Baby only plodded when asked for an effort following a one-off trip from better than midfield. He's at his best when allowed to dictate things in front. Running Ahead's bid from towards the rear 650m out was short-lived. You'remyeverything was short of room over the final 150m following a prominent run on the fence.
