Recap by phillip woo

Meaningful Dragon had a speed-tracking run and claimed the lead from Voyage Boss 250m out for a third win from his past four starts. It was a great effort carrying top weight after winning last start following an injury-induced absence. Favourite Gorgeous Victory ran on nicely for second after a one-off trip from midfield. He's a winner in waiting. Voyage Boss found a couple too good after dictating the pace from gate two under a 10lb claimer. It was a return to form from a better draw. Polar Patch stayed on well for fourth after a prominent run wide without cover from gate nine. He's trending the right way after filling the frame in his past three starts.
