Recap by phillip woo
Sturdy Ruby had a perfect trip fourth on the fence from gate two before surging to the lead 200m out and keeping on gamely for a third win from 29 starts. He is always a chance in Class Four. Well-backed Amazing Gaze ran on nicely near the inside for second after a one-off trip from behind midfield. It was another encouraging effort after a debut fourth in June, and he should be winning shortly. Favourite Quantum Patch ran on steadily for third after a wide trip without cover from better than midfield. He's racing well and a win is around the corner. Our Lucky Glory made ground late near the outside for fourth after turning the final bend three from the rear. It was a better effort with a step up to 1,650m at his second start this term. Smiling Emperor gradually faded after sitting third with cover from gate three. It was one of his better efforts in Class Four. Take Action ran on without threatening travelling third last from gate 12. He should be fitter for two outings this term and is one to keep safe from a better draw. Punted late Stormi produced a grinding effort after making his run five back and three deep with cover.
