Recap by phillip woo
Post-time favourite The Auspicious had a prominent run and drove late to just collar early favourite Liveandletlive by a lip for a fourth win and third this season from 19 career starts. He's in terrific form and handled the step up to 2,200m with aplomb. Liveandletlive was just pipped late after getting his own way in front from gate four. He's racing well without winning. Punted late Money Catcher surged late through the centre to just take third after making his run five back on the fence after a slow start. He's proving a hard one to get right on his day. Snowfield just failed to place after a rail run from midfield. It was another honest effort. Enthralled ran on steadily for fifth after a one-off trip from behind midfield. Agenda was next best but did get every chance following a box-seat run. Aestheticism made some ground through the centre without threatening after making his run five back and one off the fence. Sturdy Ruby picked off a few from near the rear. Wrote A New Page didn't find much after a speed-tracking run from gate eight. It was a disappointing effort at his first start over 2,200m.
