Recap by phillip woo
Baby Sakura sat outside the leader Elite Golf from barrier 11 and was too good after leading 150m out. It was a smart performance on debut. Elite Golf kept on gamely for second after a flying start from gate 14. He was able to back up a win carrying 8lb more following a salute at his second start. Russet Glow ran on nicely along the inside to spice up the exotics after a rails run from just worse than midfield following a slow start. He was able to build on an OK effort on debut last month. Better And Better cost punters yet again when hit late to jump favourite. He could only manage fourth after a wide with cover trip from behind midfield. Sky Phoenix stayed on all right for fifth after sitting near the speed. It was a much-improved effort at his third start. So My Folks came from last to finish next best. He has shown hints of ability in his six starts across both surfaces.
