Recap by phillip woo

Glory Win enjoyed an ideal run in fourth and just off the rails from a perfect alley, straightened four deep and came with a steady run late to prevail in the final 10m for a maiden win. The light weight was the difference in the end. Ocean Wide went forward to lead from a wide gate, cornered nearly two lengths on top, was briefly headed at the 200m and kept on gamely to hold Spicy Shrimp for second. Spicy Shrimp enjoyed the box-seat run, cornered in two-to-three deep, switched off the leaders for a clear run along the paint at the 200m and kept on willingly to make it close at the finish. Always Well eventually took the sit in second and one off the fence after leading early on, rounded the final bend three deep, briefly went to the front at the 200m and condition gave out in the last 100m. It was a disappointing performance and does need claimer relief to gain an edge. Multiexpress was parked deep in fourth or fifth, straightened five wide and kept on evenly over the final 150m. Silver Dragon was settled at the rear from a wide gate, swung the final bend widest out and only kept on passed beaten gallopers as the favourite. He was not suited by the pace, but will need to draw properly to have any chance off his current rating.
