Recap by phillip woo

Firming favourite Superb Spirit had a rails run in midfield and after leading 120m out, he won with something in hand for back-to-back wins from three starts. The three-yearold has the tools to hold his own up in grade. Lucrative Eight kept on gamely for second after leading 350m out following a speed-tracking run from gate seven. He deserves a win after placing in all four starts. Island Buddy stayed on well for third after a box-seat run He continues to run gamely. Lightning Ace ran on nicely with one wider out for fourth at massive odds following a patient ride second last from gate 12. It was his best effort from six starts. Star Of Hearts made some ground to just take fifth after a sluggish start.
