Recap by phillip woo
Genius Baby ran on from behind midfield through the centre to take control 50m out for a first win at his 10th local start. He was able to improve on an improved fifth last start as the favourite for his new trainer. Rewarding Buddy found one too good after hitting the lead 100m out following a prominent run one off the fence. He can break through at any moment with seconds in two of his past three starts. Victor The Rapid surged late along the inside for third after a patient ride third last from gate eight. It was a return to form following a downgrade. Swagger Bro just won a battle for fourth after a rails run from behind midfield. It was a good run first up for his new trainer. Call To Command wasn't beaten far in the end after prompting the pace three wide without cover in third from gate 12. Legend Impact kept on one paced after a rails run from better than midfield. Brave Win made ground late to just miss sixth prize money after making his run at the rear from gate 11. It was a better effort. Favourite Silver Spurs didn't have much left in the tank after getting pressured at times for the lead.
