Recap by phillip woo
Gracious Express had a wide and without cover trip in midfield from gate 14 and after surging to the lead with one wider 150m out, he kept finding to defeat Everyone's Star for a third win and first over 1,400m from 19 starts. Everyone's Star ran on nicely for second after a wide trip travelling four from the rear. It was another good effort following fetlock surgery in June. Harold Win stayed on third best after a rails run from midfield. It was another honest performance. Outgate made ground for fourth without threatening the top three after a one-off trip ridden midfield from gate 13. He's building towards a win from his three starts this term. Star Mac came from last to just miss a first four spot. It was an improved effort at his second run over 1,400m this term, but he is clearly better suited over a longer trip. Favourite Brilliant Express made ground late near the inside after travelling three from the rear. He was anchored by the big weight.
