Recap by phillip woo
Plunged late, Run The Table just held off the fast-finishing Nitro Express after surging to the front 100m out following a prominent run one off the fence from a tricky gate for maiden win. It was his best run to date at his second run in the class. Old-timer Nitro Express quickened nicely after switching out for a clear run 200m out following a rail run in midfield to make it close on the wire as the post-time favourite. He had been hovering around the finish this term so a big run was not a surprise. Baby Storm just held on for third after settling box-seat from a wide gate. He's building towards a win. Enjoyable Success ran on nicely to just miss a placing after climbing on heels for a good part of the straight until working into the clear 150m out. He can bob up at any moment off his current mark. Fairy Floss ran on well from towards the rear to just miss the frame. He has improved with each start this season. Wonderful Tiger peaked on his run 150m out after circling the field from behind to lead 500m out. He might not be far off a bottom. Roman Impero came up flat over the final 100m after getting his chance one off in midfield.
