2 | 4 | HELEN'S CHOICE (P185) | M L Yeung | -- | Settled just worse than midfield, shifted out for a clear run upon straightening, quickened well to hit the front 150 metres out only to be collared close to home. |
3 | 9 | DANEWIN TIGER (CL282) | D Whyte | -- | Settled 2-wide in midfield, ran on under pressure to hold every chance over 200 metres out, unable to sustain effort closing stages. |
