Recap by phillip woo
Well-backed The Perfect Match took the short route home to just get up and deny Telcom Speed out after settling on the rail behind midfield. He wasn't beaten far in his first two career starts. Telecom Speed did everything right but get the win after reclaiming the lead 200m out following a quick start from gate two. He's itching for a return to the winner's circle. Falcon Court came on nicely through the middle for third after he was ridden for luck from gate 10. He is a winner waiting to happen. Team Happy ran on nicely for fourth after making his run one off the fence from behind midfield. He is getting better with each start. Super Sixty gradually faded over the last 100m after emerging with the lead from gate five. It was a better effort from his three starts. Golden Luck just plodded after slotting one-out, one-back from gate seven. He's found it harder in his past three starts. Golden Link made some ground without threatening after a wide trip from behind midfield. High Percentage never got into the act travelling three from the rear from gate 11.
