Recap by phillip woo

Firming favourite Falcon Court settled one-off better than midfield and ran on nicely near the outside to take control 100m out for a first win at his 17th start. He had put the writing on the wall in two earlier runs over the dirt 1,200m. Modest Gentleman stayed on well for second after a prominent run on the fence from gate one. It was a better run on his return to the all-weather track. Diamond Soars kept battling away to hold third after chasing the speed on the fence from gate three. He can breakthrough at any moment with thirds in two of his past three starts on this surface. In his best effort from five starts this term, Double Bingo ran on well to just take fourth after making his run three wide with cover travelling midfield. He was likely suited by the wet track. Ever Smart whacked on one-paced after pressing forward three wide from better than midfield to sit third without cover 700m out from gate 11. It wasn't a bad effort at his first start over the dirt 1,200m. Timestorm made some ground late near the inside to just miss the frame after settling four back on the fence. It was an OK dirt debut.
