Recap by phillip woo
Rank outsider Young Emperor travelled second last and wove a run near the inside after getting held up early in the straight to just get the nose down late to deny Chill Buddy for a second win from seven starts. Well-backed Chill Buddy just missed after clearing to lead 1,000m out from gate 12. He was able to build on two encouraging runs over the straight 1,000m. Celestial Hero ran on well for third after straightening four deep travelling third last from gate seven. He's shown natural improvement on his three starts this term. Brown-lamped late Armour War Eagle came on late down the outside for fourth after biding his time three from the rear. He'll be a force to be reckoned with if he finds his way into Class Four. Aurora Patch stayed on all right for fifth after a one-off trip from better than midfield. He was carrying 7lb more following a win.
