1 11 MANY GAINS (CJ051) B Prebble TT Jumped well and soon crossed to the fence travelling in 2nd position. Enjoyed the run of the race. Swept clear all of the field early in the straight and the race in its keeping a long way from home.
2 12 SPICY SHRIMP (CL067) G Cheyne B/H Sent forward and remained 1 off in the lead holding a half length advantage for the better part of the trip. Maintained a good gallop down the running.
3 4 OASIS DAVIS (CK138) B Doyle SR Settled behind midfield, travelling a loose 2 wide until joining the fence near 500m. Had to be eased after the 500m, peeled out on straightening and closed off soundly. Pulled up lame.
