Recap by phillip woo

Thumped in betting at the jump, Regency Bo Bo assumed the lead from Good Method at the 300m after pressing forward to sit second from a wide gate at the 900m and kept on gamely for the win in a blanket finish. He's showed ability to win two of three starts and will hold his own up in grade off a lightweight. Punted late at long odds, Good Method wouldn't go away quietly after finding the front from a tricky gate. He pops up now and then but doesn't have much upside off his current mark. Favourite Everest really got going in the last 100m following a midfield run to just miss second. He's caught the eye in his past two starts and win is coming. Good For You just failed to get up for a placing after travelling behind midfield. He's held his own in two of three starts in this grade after a Class Five win. Dashing Dart ran an eye-catching race to finish less than two lengths away after jumping slowly and a patchy run in the straight drive. Spicy Kaka was badly held and hampered in the straight run when trying to wind up from near the back.
