2 6 DAILY DOUBLE (CK043) B Doyle -- Jumped smoothly and stayed on fence at midfield first turn. Attempted to shift out for running but was blocked until 200 M. Dashed well once into clear but the winner had enough to hold on at finish.
3 2 K-JACK (CG233) M L Yeung TT Away in line and was trapped 4-wide behind the pace group first turn. Rolled forward to eventually sit one-off behind the pace home turn. Fought on well but couldn't resist the finishing effort of the top pair close home.
