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 fastest time of the year at the venue). The four other contenders all ran well breaking 29.00 seconds but none of them could stay with Westmead Hawk.
