Recap by phillip woo

Favourite Donc Je Suis ran on steadily after a prominent run on the fence to get the head down right on the wire for a maiden win at his seventh start. He was knocking on the door and relished the step-up in distance. Well-backed Bright Vision led every step of the way except the last stride after leading from a middle gate. It was a solid effort in defeat after setting strong fractions in front. Bullish Glory ran on well near the inside to fill a placing without menacing the quinella pair after a patient ride third from the rear. Nuremberg kept on surprisingly well for fourth after coming under heaps of pressure 450m out tracking the leader one off the fence from a wide gate. He appears to have gained confidence following a course-and-distance win last start in Class Five. Lucky Missile kept on evenly after a one-off run better than midfield. He might be a force to be reckoned with in Class Five. Clement Legend came up flat when asked for an effort following a rails run in midfield. He continues to disappoint of late despite a return to Class Four here. Magnetism ran on without ever looking a threat. He got too far back from an awkward gate.
