Recap by phillip woo
Green-lamped Romantic Fantasy peeled three deep travelling just worse than midfield 600m out and just won a ding-dong battle over post-time favourite Rosewood Fleetfoot. He was able to add to his good form from last season. Rosewood Fleetfoot was just nipped on the wire after briefly hitting the front 80m out though the centre following a rails run from behind midfield. It was another solid effort after ending last season with back-to-back 2,200m wins. Star Brose ran on well near the inside to just take third after making his run fourth last from gate seven. He was able to back up a near win at his final start over 2,000m. Old-timer Romantic Laos was doing his best work late down the outside to just miss a placing after a patient ride third last from gate three. He was able to build on a closing fifth last Wednesday over a mile trip. Family Fortune made inroads late for fifth after travelling second last from gate 11. It was a pleasing effort at his first start this term. Jumbo Steps faltered to finish a distant sixth after a box-seat run. Sensationally backed Ocean Impact just plodded after a one-off trip from midfield.
