4 10 TIMESTORM (G109) L Ferraris B/XB/TT Settled down midfield, 5Ls off the pace 400M, ran on steadily without reaching first two, lost 3rd last stride.
5 3 CALIFORNIA CONCORD (D067) K H Chan B/TT Jumped well, up with early pace before holding back to race in midfield, put in a mild bid on straightening, no threat to first two final 200M.
6 9 BRAVE AND BOLD (H275) Z Purton -- Held up towards the rear, 8Ls to make up 400M, stayed on past beaten horses in the straight. No impression on leaders.
