Recap by phillip woo

Favourite New Asia Sunrise was handily ridden along the fence, barged his way out three deep for a clear run at the 300m, worked to the front 150m out and easily held off the late surge of Radiant Bunny for the win. Radiant Bunny finished willingly with one wider out after travelling third from the rear to grab second in a blanket finish for the minors. Firming late, Glenealy Prize closed off nicely with two wider out after making his run one off the fence behind midfield in promising run despite a rise in grade. He's still learning and remains one to follow. Honest Horse went forward from a wide gate to stalk the leader Bundy Bundy one off the fence, assumed the lead 350m out and grudgingly gave way to finish a clear-cut fourth. All Win Boy was held up six deep until the 200m after making his run fourth from the rear and ran on reasonably well thereafter.
