Recap by phillip woo

Odds-on favourite Sun Jewellery was able to land a perfect spot one out, one back from a middle gate, straightened four deep and got up 100m out to remain unbeaten in three starts. He remains one to following next season. Precision King eventually crossed to lead from a wide gate at the 1,050m, cornered two lengths on top and grudgingly gave way to finish a bridesmaid for an eighth time this term. High And Mighty settled one off the rails in midfield, rounded the final bend five deep and finished well to just miss a Quinella spot in a pleasing run following an injury. Wah May Friend box-seated behind the leader, stayed to the inside upon straightening and kept on reasonably well at long odds. Amazing Kids switched out sharply off the heels of Lucky Double Eight with two wider out at the 350m and finished up nicely.
