Recap by phillip woo
Firming late, Step High was patiently ridden second from the rear and one off the rails, swung the final bend with one wider out and let down well, despite hanging in under pressure to take control 150m out for a third straight win. Starting Over was patiently ridden third from the back along the fence, rounded the final bend three deep and finished strongly to get up 30m out for the Quinella spot with the quick back-up off a weekend failure. Zachary was rated three back along the rails, moved to fourth at the 500m, stayed to the inside upon straightening and came up one-paced over the final 100m as the firming favourite. He had no excuses. Super Team switched off at the tail of the field, pushed widest out upon straightening, loomed a place chance at the 200m and peaked on his run 100m out with a return to Class Four. Cool Bean settled worse than midfield and one off the rails, rounded the final bend and came up one-paced over the final 200m with every chance. All The Winners worked a bit to lead from a wide gate, had a length on them upon straightening and was gone at the 150m. Safari Magic made his run one off in third behind the leaders All The Winners, was forced deeper out at the 700m by Costa Del Sol, copped up bump taking the final bend five deep and was struggling 200m out. Favourite Southern Springs was withdrawn at the gate.
