Recap by phillip woo
Well-backed Winning Machine had the box-seat run and after hitting the lead 200m out, he was too smart for a second win from 18 starts. It was a great training performance following a bleed and knee surgery. Country Pride found one too smart after a speed-tracking run from gate two. He had every chance but is still a winner in waiting after finishing in the mix in all four runs this term. Forerunner surged late for third after a rails run from midfield. It was a better effort under a 7lb claimer following a non-threatening sixth last start. Invictus stayed on well for fourth after a prominent run wide without cover run from five. Top To Sky gradually faded after dictating the pace from gate 10. He will be looking forward to a drop into Class Five. Flow Rider ran on late in a blanket finish for sixth after making his run two from the rear. Favourite Cloud Nine produced only a grinding effort following a one-off trip from behind midfield. He continues to cost punters dearly without a win from 11 starts. Heavily backed Mr Invincible rallied to finish next best ridden for luck from gate 12.
