Recap by phillip woo
Young Champion travelled in the box seat before hitting the front 250m out and just holding on to win in a class record time. The writing had been on the wall with placings in his past three starts. Patch Of Stars made it close on the wire after a rails run from better than midfield. It was another solid run after a setback with lameness last month. Bulb General ran on nicely for third after making his run third last. It was a very good run at his first start in 176 days following a ligament injury. Bottomuptogether grudgingly gave way after dictating the pace from gate three. He was having his first run back following a bleed in December. Early favourite Galactic Voyage was running on late near the inside for fifth without ever looking a threat travelling second last following a slow start. He will need to work on his gate manners.
