Recap by phillip woo
Top weight and odds-on favourite Patch Of Theta sat one out and one back before reeling in long-time leader Drombeg Banner 20m out for a seventh win at his 25th start. He deserved that after just missing in a Group Three last start. Punted late Drombeg Banner wouldn't go down without a fight after clearing to lead as expected from gate three. He's always a chance when allowed to bowl along in front. Light Years Charm came from last to just take third in the small six-runner field. It was a better run following a downgrade after two defeats at Group level. Healthy Happy plugged on to just miss a placing after taking a trail on the leader's back from gate one. It was another honest effort this season. Beauty Eternal had his chance but peaked on his run 100m out after binding his time one from the rear. The seven-year-old is beyond his better days.
