3 3 THE WITCH'S BROOM (CH231) O Doleuze CP-/B2 Settled back from a wide alley to race with the backmakers, 2 deep with cover. Commenced to improve near the 600 M, cornered wide, and closed off nicely.

5 4 EAST OCEAN (CK340) G Cheyne B Led along the rails before handing up near the 800 M. Was shuffled back slightly when the pace quickened passing the 700 M. Kept on one paced when in clear running after the 300 M.
