3 1 BILLION (CH316) Y T Cheng -- Not the fastest to jump from a high draw but soon took up running, held clear advantage to straight holding a 2L break most of way, failed to sustain effort when headed inside 200 M.
4 4 VICTORY TREASURE (CE031) Z Purton TT Broke well, settled 2-wide 2-back in 4th, came to challenge under pressure turning for home, looked quickening but outsprinted by winner when it matters at the 200 M, one-paced at the finish.
