Recap by phillip woo

Favourite Raichu just held off outsider Snowhooves after advancing to the lead 130m out following a prominent run on the fence for a maiden win at his 15th start. He had been threatening all season long and should remain competitive up in grade off a lighter weight. Snowhooves finished well along the inside after settling fourth last from a wide gate to make it close on the wire. It was a solid effort following a gear and stable change and he could turn up a winner soon. Telecom Titan ran on well for a placing after settling midfield following his usual slow start. He's found the line well in both Class Five runs this term and can pop up soon. Fair Comment was doing some nice work late after a patient ride second from the rear in his best performance to date. He'll need to prove it wasn't a fluke performance. Richcity Fortune had every chance after hitting the front 250m out chasing the uncontested leader Rugby Diamond. He's still to find a bottom in 13 outings.
