2 12 LA MERVEILLE (CC205) C Williams H 3-wide without cover until getting 2-wide and 3Ls off pace in 4th at 1100 M, 3-wide and 4Ls off pace entering straight, little chance with winner but comfortably held 2nd.
3 4 FANTASTIC WIN (CB188) H W Lai B Driven along early to hold worse than midfield position about 6Ls or 7Ls off pace, similarly placed on straightening, stayed on fairly well for a place.
