2 | 14 | SUPER MOLLY (CA043) | B Marcus | -- | Raced 1 to 2Ls off winner throughout and 7 to 8Ls off overall pace and 2-wide, 6Ls off entering straight and ran on well closing stages to grab runners-up spot on line. |
3 | 8 | JEUNE KING PRAWN (BV270) | M Kinane | -- | Raced 3-wide early on 3 to 4Ls off pace, similarly placed when challenged at top of straight, led briefly over 200 M out, no answer to winner's pace and pipped for 2nd on line. |
