Recap by phillip woo
Well-backed Romantic Thor stole the race after a perfectly-rated run out front under Matthew Poon for a first local win at his 13th start. Gentlemen Legacy had his chance after a box-seat run but couldn't reel in the leader. It was another honest performance at his first start beyond 2,000m. Winning Wing ran on for third after making his move 580m out travelling second last in the seven-horse field. It was a good effort carrying 135lb on the wet track at his first start over 2,400m. Favourite Nautical Force peaked on his run 150m out after some argy-bargy rounding the final bend travelling last for the most part. He didn't disgrace after a stylish win on his local debut over 1,800m. Stunning Peach only plodded after a one-out, one-back run. The big weight and step up to 2,400m on a wet track took its toll.
