Race report

Nick Savva's star, who was trailing Mineola Farloe around the last bend, produced his customary burst of late pace to snatch the victory on the home straight in a time of 28.44. The four other contenders all ran well breaking 29.00 seconds but none of them could stay with Westmead Hawk.
