Recap by phillip woo
Stormy Grove came from last and widest out 400m out ridden for luck from gate 14 to overhaul Without Compare in the concluding stages for a first win from six local starts. He had been knocking on the door. Punted late Without Compare did slip away by three lengths near the 200m after a tactics change to lead from gate six. He's a winner waiting to happen after making a good impression in his three local starts. Endued stayed on well for third after a wide trip without cover travelling better than midfield from gate 10. He's run very well from wide draws. Lucky Sam Gor made a mild bid near the inside after getting held up for a run until the 200m following a rails run from midfield. Natural Numbers ran on well for fourth after a one-off trip from midfield. He proved a shock third last start was not a fluke. Mighty Masts just plodded when asked for an effort after settling effectively one-out, one-back. The step up to 1,600m failed to help.
