2 | 7 | JOIN VICTORY (CD026) | O Doleuze | B2 | Awkwardly away, 2-wide and 7Ls off pace in 10th at 1200 M, 3-wide on straightening and briefly held up when 4Ls behind in mid pack, quickened up to lead at 50 M, grabbed on line. |
3 | 13 | NICKU NICKU (CC372) | Y T Cheng | SR | Awkward start, in midfield 2-wide and 4Ls back at 1200 M, crept closer to be 4-wide off home turn and over 2Ls down in 3rd, clear lead 250 M out, headed at 50 M, hung on for 3rd. |
