Recap by phillip woo
King Dance was ridden patiently five back on the fence and came with a perfectly-timed run down the outside to just overhaul Nyx Gluck for a third win from four starts. Nyx Gluck found one just too good after leading 200m out following a prominent run wide without cover the entire trip from gate seven. It was a huge run in defeat. Star Figure ran on nicely with three wider out to finish a close third after making his run five back and one off the fence. He's honest and was able to build on a closing sixth two runs ago at his only other 1,400m start. Favourite Ace stayed on nicely for fourth after a wide trip with cover travelling midfield from gate 13. It was an encouraging effort. Star Mac came from near last for fifth without threatening the top four. It was a positive showing over an inadequate trip at his first start his new trainer following a bleed in December.
