Recap by phillip woo

Firming favourite Oldtown had a rails run in midfield and got up 50m out for a second career win from 11 starts. The reunion with Zac Purton worked the oracle after showing improvement following a stable change. Speedy Smartie stayed on nicely for second after leading 200m out following a prominent run from gate 12. He has yet to miss a top four spot in all 11 starts for his new trainer this term. Punted late A Time For Us stayed on well for third after a prominent run. It was an improved effort after disappointing in his past three of four starts following a downgrade. Master Phoenix ran on nicely with one wider out to just take fourth after a wide with cover trip from behind midfield.
