Recap by phillip woo

Early favourite Solid Shalaa made his run four back on the fence and quickened very well to overhaul Fun N Fun Together in the concluding stages for a second win on this surface from 20 starts. Fun N Fun Together found one too good after moving to the lead 200m out following a pace-stalking run outside the late-fancied Candlelight Dinner. He can bob up at any moment after placings three times across both surfaces from seven runs this term. Robot Knight surged late for third without threatening the top two after making his run third last from gate 11. He is always a chance on this surface. Natural High just failed to place after a one-off trip from midfield. He's stayed on a respectable fourth in back-to-back runs following a win. Specked late Autumn Delight ran on well for fifth after a one-off trip from behind midfield at his first go on the surface. He was having his first run in 301 days following an injury. Jolly Companion was given every chance in the box seat but came up one-paced over the last 100m.
