Recap by phillip woo
Favourite Tuchel came with a perfectly timed run to just deny long-time leader Flaming Rabbit after making his run one off from midfield. He relished a step up to 1,600m to score another win. Punted late Flaming Rabbit nearly stole the race after turning the final bend three lengths on top after rushing forward to dictate the running from gate 12. He's caught the eye in two of three starts. Amazing Victory jumped out of his skin late to fill a placing from behind midfield. He's been holding his form very well all season long and this was another solid run on the back of a muddling pace. Spirited Express ran on nicely down the outside to just miss a placing after making his run outside Amazing Victory for a majority of the run. Bourbonaire just held his ground after a prominent run. He ran okay. Oriental Smoke came up one paced from midfield. He's not up to the challenge over 1,600m at this level. Plunged late Sunny Star ran on without threatening from towards the rear. He's a Valley horse. Sweet Encounter only got by beaten rivals after making his run third last from a wide draw. He didn't get a race run to suit.
