Recap by phillip woo
Whacked to jump favourite, French raider Sosie was left wide without cover from the 1,100m but still worked to the lead 350m out and kept on gamely for the win. He's a world class 2,400m horse. Early favourite Giavellotto rallied nicely through the centre for second after a one-off trip from behind midfield. He ran very well after winning this race 12 months back. Goliath just lost out in a battle for second after a rails run from behind midfield. Al Riffa closed off nicely near the outside for fourth after making his run two from the rear. Los Angeles plugged on for fifth without threatening the first four sitting third in the run after Urban Chic punched forward to lead 1,150m out. Bundle Award made headway late to just miss fifth prize money after biding his time second last. He was the best of the locals and would have preferred a stronger pace. Moments In Time beat a few after making his run near the rear. This is too rich for his blood.
