Recap by phillip woo
Specked late Romantic Son travelled wide behind midfield from gate 12 and zipped home late down the outside to overhaul California Blitz for back-to-back wins off a seven-day break. California Blitz kept on gamely for second after getting challenged from both sides upon straightening following a front-running effort from gate seven. He continues to hold his form well in this grade after back-to-back wins in Class Four. Power Koepp just failed to grab second after a speed-tracking run from gate nine. It was the eight-year-old's best effort from seven starts this term. Friends Of Shajing just missed out on a placing after getting all favours in the box seat. He keeps promising without delivering on a win line. Charming Babe ran on steadily through the centre for fifth after a one-off trip from behind midfield. Endeared ran on without threatening after making his run two from the rear. He wasn't good enough on his return to Class Three after a near win last start over 1,400m. Keen Molly only plodded from midfield as the post-time favourite. Early favourite Perfectday only beat a few from near the rear.
