Recap by phillip woo
After getting held up until the 200m following a prominent run on the fence, firming favourite Audacious Pursuit lifted in the concluding stages for a maiden win at his sixth start. Smart Fat Cat came on nicely to finish a close second after recovering from a slow start to travel just worse than midfield on the fence. He relished a step up to 1,600m. The well-backed Amazing Duck wouldn't go down without a fight after dictating moderate fractions from gate one. He's capable on his day if allowed his own way in front. The Lion King kept on well for fourth after a speed-tracking run from gate nine. It was an improved effort at his second of two 1,600m runs down in Class Four. The Golden Knight came on late through the centre for fifth without threatening the top four after making his run one from the rear. He wasn't suited by the race tempo. Bright Inheritance made headway late near the inside after a rails run from behind midfield.
