Recap by phillip woo
Blossomy travelled in the box seat and reeled in long-time leader Charming Legend 20m out for a second win and first on this surface from his past three starts. He'll remain in the grade and can win another. Well backed Charming Legend found one too good after dictating the pace from gate six. It was clearly his best run from six starts this term following a downgrade. Odds-on favourite Vivacious Win stayed on a non-threatening third with every chance following a one-off trip from midfield. He wasn't good enough carrying 10lb more following a win. Punted late Shooting To Top kept on well for fourth after working like a trojan to track the speed 900m out from gate 11. He's run well in defeat from wide draws in his past two starts after a win. Exceed The Limit ran on late for fifth after making his run three from the rear. He can bob up at any moment after giving a good sight in back-to-back runs following a downgrade. Glorious Journey ran on without threatening through the centre after a patient ride third last from gate eight. California Moxie made some ground late to finish next best.
