Recap by phillip woo
Heavily punted General Redwood led and after being briefly headed by favourite Vivacious Win 180m out, he fought back to get the bob in late for a maiden win at his fourth start. He was returning off a break after giving a better sight in two prior starts over this course and distance. Vivacious Win found one just too good on the day after briefly getting his nose in front just under the 200m following a speed-tracking run from gate eight. He's a winner in waiting. Whacked late in betting Yiu Cheung Victory stayed on well to finish a distant third after a box-seat run from gate two. He was able to build on a one-paced fifth last start. Fortune Star made good ground late for fourth after making his run five back on the fence. It was a good run in a race run to suit those up front. Celtic Times stayed on okay for fifth after a rails run from midfield. Super Goldendragon ran on without threatening with two wider out after a one-off trip from behind midfield. Second favourite Beauty Viva wove a run late through the centre to finish next best after making his run third last. The pace and big weight worked against him.
