Recap by phillip woo

It may not be a strong race with maidens filling the top four positions. Cash Courier peeled out at the 250m following a patient ride third from the rear along the fence and quickened nicely to get up in the shadows of the post for a first win at his 23rd start. It's taken him a while to hit form but he did arrive off a mark of 70 so a return to Class Four off a lightweight over the 1,650m or 1,800m might still keep him competitive. Lucky Ball just got up in the final stride for second following a box-seat run. He's still to win 13 starts but does seem to perform best over this trip. Dutch Windmill really got going late after travelling one from the rear to nearly snatch second in an improved effort with a step to the mile and return to the Valley. Favourite Bliss Cartel knocked up inside the last 100m after getting his own way up front but still has made the frame in three of his past four starts so all is not a lost cause. Soccer Brave made some ground from the back despite badly missing the kick. It was a better run with a step up in distance but he'll have to correct his bad behaviour at the gates.
