Recap by phillip woo
Little Paradise travelled behind midfield on the fence and was badly held up for a clear run from the 400m until the 200m, but he showed a brilliant turn of foot to win going away 100m out for a sixth success from nine starts. Infinite Resolve ran on nicely for second after a one-off trip from midfield. He was able to build on an eye-catching second when trying 1,400m last start. Beauty Bolt stayed on well for third after leading 300m out following a speed-tracking run outside Winfield from gate 12. It was another honest performance. Sagacious Life ran on steadily for fourth after a wide trip with cover travelling midfield from gate 13. It was a good run. Punted late Top Dragon kept on well for fifth after a rails run from midfield. It was another honest performance. Favourite Invincible Ibis ran on without threatening after making his run fourth last from gate 11. He had his winning streak stopped at four.
