Recap by phillip woo
Beauty Crescent pinged straight to the front and would not relinquish the lead after getting hounded by late-plunged favourite South Star 800m out, ringing up a third straight win. South Star could not peg back the winner after pushing forward three wide to prompt the pace 800m out. It was a good effort after winning two of seven runs last term. Early favourite Top Time ran on steadily along the inside for third without threatening the top two after a rails run from midfield. It was encouraging run up in class off a lighter weight. Dragon Joy stayed on fourth best after a prominent run. It was a return to form. Copartner Fleet just plugged on one-paced after chasing the speed on the fence. The step up to 1,400m was too far for his liking.
