Recap by phillip woo
Firming late to start an odds-on favourite, Max Que settled two back on the fence before coming off the inside to take control 120m out en route to a decisive victory. He has raced without luck in recent starts but has a strong record of three wins and as many thirds from six starts this term. Second favourite Silvery Breeze was taken back to second last from gate 12 and stormed home one off in the straight to finish second. He too has been in great form this campaign with a win and three seconds. Thriving Brothers crossed from barrier 11 to lead and kept on soundly for third. He continues to race well. Viva Graciousness settled one off behind midfield and made a sustained run from the 700m to finish next best. It was a good performance from another unsuitable draw. The Boom Box ran on solidly from third last to finish fifth. It was an improved run under top weight after he failed over 1,800m last start. Samarkand sat in the box seat from gate one and kept on well along the inside for sixth. Chill Kaka tracked the speed but couldn't go on with it when next best. He is better suited on dirt.
