Recap by phillip woo
Whacked to nearly jump favourite, Basic Instinct settled midfield on the rails, hit the lead 100m out and just scrambled in for a maiden win at his 16th local start. It was clearly his best run to date after an improved sixth last start. Punted late Bingo Babe stayed on well for second after a prominent run one off the fence from gate 11. It was an unexpected result after disappointing in 12 prior starts this term. Favourite Exceed The Wish found a couple too good with three wider out in the stretch run following a one-off trip from midfield. It was a return to form with a step back to 1,200m. Winning Diamond made ground late along the inside to just miss a placing after a rails run from behind midfield. He's given a better sight for fourths in his past two of three starts across both tracks. Solar River gradually faded after dictating the run from gate six. It was a better effort at his second run back following a lengthy injury-induced absence. Von Baer ran on without threatening after a one-off trip from behind midfield. Gimme Five didn't find much in the run to the wire after a speed-tracking run. He continues to disappoint this term.
