Recap by phillip woo
Tour De Force travelled second from the rear early on, pinched ground to have three behind him coming to the final bend, angled into the clear widest out at the 250m and let down nicely carrying top weight to grab victory 30m out. Firming late, You Read My Mind settled third and one off the rails, advanced to the front four deep at the 200m and found one too good in the end. Late-fancied favourite Charity Joy travelled four along the rails, stayed to the inside upon straightening and kept on all right for a placing. Imperial Champion sat on the back of the leader, straightened three deep and kept on one-paced over the final 100m. Bullish Boy was beaten for speed, turned the final bend three from the right and only got by beaten rivals. California Bounty cleared to lead from gate seven at the 650m, cornered a length on top and was yielding ground 200m out. Go Baby Go was beaten a long ways out following a one-off run without cover at times in midfield.
