Recap by phillip woo
Mugen made his run at the rear but came with a late burst near the inside to mug Winning Ovation in the shadows of the post for a fifth win and first in a long time from 25 starts. Winning Ovation was just pipped on the wire after leading 100m out following a prominent run wide without cover the entire trip. It was a huge run in defeat after three consecutive wins. Early favourite Six Pack found a couple just too good after a box-seat run. He has held his form very well in four runs after a win in January. Old-timer Healthy Happy wouldn't go down without a fight after dictating the run from gate three. He rarely produces a bad run over 1,400m. Drombeg Banner gradually faded after getting outside the leader 850m out under a 10lb claimer. He's at his best when allowed to flow along in the lead.
