Recap by phillip woo

No Money No Talk rallied strongly after travelling near the stands side ahead of midfield to gun down the leader California Bounty 20m out for an overdue win after filling the frame in four of five previous starts. California Bounty showed good gate speed from gate two to eventually lead on the outside fence, was still a length on top at the 100m and grudgingly gave way while rolling off the fence at the 100m. Country Melody kept on gamely for a placing after showing natural speed to land a prominent spot three off the grandstand from a tough gate. He'll be hard to beat from a proper alley. Tango Fire travelled around midfield and three off the outside fence, angled underneath runners for a clear run at the 250m and stayed on all right without menacing the placegetters. Lucky Bubbles stayed on well from behind midfield despite travelling on the wrong side of the track in a pleasing debut performance. Ambitious King was giving ground 150m out after travelling up with the leaders one off the outside fence.
