2 6 PERFECT TEN (CL030) B Prebble B Niggled along after fair start, prominently sat 2Ls behind the leaders 2-wide with cover, finished off well down centre of the home straight, looked possible to win passing 100 M while hanging in, caught by the winner near 50 M.
3 8 CENTURY MOLLY (CK067) C W Wong CP Jumped fairly, pushed hard along in early stages, ended up taking the box-seat just behind the leader, kept on well in home straight but laid in and out under pressure near 200 M, just did enough for 3rd.
