Assertive Approach is assembling a healthy record, this his fourth win in five starts, adding his second stakes having taken out a Listed race at Morphettville four weeks ago. He was first into stride and led comfortably by a length in the first 100m then added to his lead past the 600m. At the 200m the lead shrunk to a half length before racing clear again, out by two lengths at the 100m. That was enough to get the head win despite being challenged hard in the final strides. A top run from Bons Away who sat second last of the six runners down the side and last just before straightening. He had to switch to the inner at the 150m then flew home strongly. From third, Oak Door hugged the fence turning in and battled away for third from Ashlor who from second faded to hold fourth.
