2 9 GREAT HARVEST (B390) N Callan -- Raced worse than midfield, 3 deep with cover throughout. Moved closer to lead as field bunched approaching the corner, sprinted well to assume narrow lead near the 150m before passed by winner soon after. Held narrow second.

6 2 GALAXY EMPEROR (D107) R Maia B/H/TT Bumped at start, improved position before being caught 3 deep without cover just behind leading pair throughout. Hard ridden approaching corner, straightened only 1.5L from lead before emptying out at 250m. (Lame next day).
