Recap by phillip woo
Mister Dapper tracked the speed from gate nine and just got up in the final few strides for a fifth win from 28 starts. It was clearly his best run to date from three starts over the Valley 1,650m. Favourite Max Que was closing with every stride to just miss after making his run one-off travelling midfield. It was another solid effort carrying 12lb more. Withallmyfaith was swamped in the final few metres after dictating the pace from gate seven. The switch to the Valley nearly worked the oracle after notching placings in two of three prior starts. Fivefortwo came from last and widest out from gate 12 to nearly fill a placing. It was a huge run. Fantastic Fun ran on steadily for fifth without threatening the top four after getting steadied by the winner 100m out following a rails run from midfield. It was an OK effort. Telecom Fighters just held his run after a prominent run on the fence. The nine-year-old is beyond his better days. Kempes ran on without threatening after a rails run from behind midfield. Romantic Laos made ground late with one wider out after biding his time five back and one off the fence.
