Recap by phillip woo

Dublin Star came on better than midfield in the centre of the track to take control 100m out. The writing had been on the wall in his opening five starts and there's still improvement to come from the three-year-old. Comfort Life ran on well to grab second late after making his run among the backmarkers. The move to visors had a positive effect. Punted late Nextmodel found a couple too good in the end but did have his head briefly in front at the 150m chasing the speed near the stands side. Precious Sweetie stayed on all right travelling midfield two off the grandstand side. He's gone all right in both straight 1,000m runs this season. Gold 'n' Bold made good headway late after copping a bump soon after the start. Besta Luck gradually faded after going for home on top after vying for the lead with Dr Eq with bags of money for him late. Favourite Goko didn't find when push came to shove following a handy run on the fans side with a 10-pound claimer.
