5 | 1 | BEAR MACHO (CG152) | D Whyte | -- | Taken back on jumping, crossed to the rails and settled towards the rear 4 to 5Ls off the pace, trapped on the inside and had no clear run till 200 M, ran on only fairly when cleared. |
6 | 3 | SUNNY GOLF (CH138) | D Beadman | XB/TT | Settled prominently in the chasing group, commenced to hang out 550 M, came with a threatening-looking run early in straight but wasn't able to sustain it inside the final 150 M. |
7 | 6 | PERFECT STYLE (CJ329) | B Prebble | -- | 2-deep in mid-division racing keenly, had to be shifted out near 250 M for a clear path but found less than expected in the run to the line. |
