Recap by phillip woo
Meaningful Dragon had a speed-tracking run outside Proud Box from gate 14 and after poking his head in front in the concluding stages, he just held off the fast-finishing Quick Contribution for a second from eight starts. It was a good training feat second up after a defeat when lame in January. Specked late Quick Contribution came from last and widest out to make it close on the wire. It was a fine effort off a 130-day break. Early favourite Proud Box was swamped late after dictating the pace from gate two. It was another good run carrying 12lb more following a win. Strathpeffer ran on nicely through the centre for fourth after finding the fence in midfield from gate 10. He rarely produces a bad run over 1,400m. Silver Up was a one-paced fifth after a prominent run on the fence. It was an okay effort for his new trainer off a 168-day break.
