Recap by phillip woo
Happy Index had a box seat run and was too good after leading 100m out for a first win at his second start. Rising Force grudgingly gave way after clearing to lead from gate 14. It was a solid effort carrying 10lb more following a win. Heaving ran on well to just win a ding-dong finish for third after finally clear runners for a run 200m out following a handy run on the fence from gate one. He's acclimatising well after showing promise in two of three local starts. Jubilant Winner just lost third after a speed-tracking run from gate five. Ryui Kokoroe made good ground late near the inside for fifth at massive odds after making his run second last from gate 10. It was clearly his best run. Mount Everest ran on without threatening with three wider out after a one-off trip from behind midfield. He found things harder up in class following a win.
