1 | 1 | PICTURE PERFECT (CD297) | D Whyte | -- | Began well from a wide draw and niggled along to race in prominent position around 2 wide through to straight. Responded well when asked 350 M out and fended off repeated challenge from 2nd placegetter to win narrowly. |
2 | 4 | BULLISH GENERAL (CD034) | K M Chin | TT | Crowded for room at start and ridden to race in a forward position. Steadied at 1200 M when closed to heels. Soon recovered to race 1L off pace 3 wide. Ran on well in straight but just failed to overhaul the winner. |
