3 7 ALCARI (A354) R Maia V Began awkwardly, eased back to last from wide draw, still 6-7Ls to make up at 400M, rallied home strongly to take 3rd before line, nearest finish.
4 4 CAPITAL STAR (E201) J Moreira -- Strode forward to lead, pressed by rival during race, kept on well in straight, run ended 100M, caught by first 3 late. (Jockey : had rival racing directly to its outside, did not believe the horse was disappointing.)
