Recap by phillip woo

Early favourite Golden Brilliant travelled one off from behind midfield before taking off 500m out and reeling in post-time favourite Mighty Steed 20m for back-to-back wins and a fourth from three straight runs following a switch to the Valley 1,650m. He's hit top form and can win again. Mighty Steed found one just too good after getting pressured for the lead to his outside 1,100m out by Amazing Award. He's a winner waiting to happen at this level. Heavily backed All Round Winner stayed on for third after travelling third and one off the fence from gate five. It was another honest performance. Amazing Award gradually faded after pressing forward to share the lead outside Mighty Steed 1,100m out from gate nine. He can bob up at any moment after filling the frame in three consecutive runs on his return to the Valley 1,650m. Excellent Boy whacked on one paced for fifth after a prominent run on the fence. It was an all right effort after a rallying second from midfield last time out. Sensationally backed Made For Life made only a mild bid after a rails run from midfield. He's destined for Class Five.
