Recap by phillip woo
The honest Pope Cody had a wide trip without cover from behind midfield but made a sustained a bid 800m out to get up 50m out for a third win from 24 starts and two from four outings this term. He relished a step up to the 1,800m of a new win in July. Shooting To Top stayed on nicely for second after a speed-tracking run from gate eight. It was a solid effort up in grade over a longer trip following a win. Specked late Mister Dapper kept on gamely after dictating the pace from gate 11. It was an improved effort at his second start over the Valley 1,800m. Punted late Flying Fortune plugged on for fourth after a box-seat run. He's improved on each of his three starts this term. Violet Star was doing his best work late for fifth after making his run second last for the most part from gate 10. Eary favourite Fivefortwo stayed on a one-paced sixth after a wide trip without cover travelling midfield. China Win was given every chance following a handy run one off the fence but only whacked on one paced late. He couldn't cope carrying 7lb more following a win. Hymnbook never landed a blow from midfield as the post-time favourite.
