Recap by phillip woo

Favourite Yoda's Choice nset moderate fractions in front from gate seven, turned for home three lengths on top and never looked back for an easy maiden win at his 19th start. Yeaboi ran on nicely from last for second after making his run at the rear from an outside draw. He has been holding his form very well through the season. Meepmeep made good ground for third after a rails run from midfield. He's given a good sight to fill the frame in his past two starts with a switch to the all-weather surface. Tradition got going late for fourth after making his run three from the rear. It was another honest effort after getting up for fourth last Wednesday over the Valley 1,650m. Joyful Champion kept plugging away to hold fifth after easing back to settle one-out, one-back 600m out. He has been a good money spinner for connections without winning in 10 outings this term. Chater Gold produced only a grinding effort following a one-off trip from behind midfield. He's in the right grade now but he appears to be better suited on turf. Super Treasure had his chance after a prominent run on the fence. He's limited.
