Recap by phillip woo
Invincible Ibis was ridden perfectly one off travelling behind midfield before reeling in long-time leader Numbers 200m out for a fifth win from 10 starts. The step up to 2,000m suited after running on nicely for second last start in the Classic Cup. Numbers wouldn't go down without a fight after setting swift fractions from gate 13. He lost nothing in defeat and looks to have a bright future at 1,800m and further going forward. Stormy Grove ran on strongly through the centre for third after making his run second last from gate seven. It was another fine effort following a last start win in the Classic Cup. Patch Of Cosmo ran on well for fourth after making his run fifth last from gate six. It was another honest performance. Seraph Gabriel stayed on well for third after tracking a hot pace from gate 12. He will be winning races in no time after flashing ability in two of four local runs.
