Recap by phillip woo
Raging favourite Bustling City led, shook off a challenge from Lucy In The Sky and edged clear under a hand-and heels ride for a third win and second from four consecutive starts following a switch to dirt racing. Lucy In The Sky kept on gamely after prompting the pace to finish a clear-cut second. He's racing well across both surfaces this term. Sky Cap just got the bob down for third after a one-off trip from better than midfield. He was able to build on a fourth when retrying the dirt 1,200m earlier this month. Blazing Wind just failed to get up for third after a wide with cover trip from midfield. It was a better effort on his return to the dirt 1,200m second up this term. Straight To Glory ran on late near the outside for fifth after making his run fourth last from 10. It was an okay effort at his first start on the surface. Notthesillyone kept on one paced after a handy run wide without cover from gate five. Zhuang Yuan Glory made a mild bid after a one-off trip from behind midfield. He is still acclimatising to local racing. Causeway King will sleep well after sitting three wide without cover near the front.
