3 5 BEAUTY DESTINY (H281) Z Purton -- Pushed forward to race outside the leader. Cruised to the lead under no riding at the 375m, asked for full effort passing the 200m & commenced to race very greenly, passed by winner near the 100m before tiring late.

8 1 CALL ME DANDY (G469) M Chadwick CP/XB Jumped awkwardly & lost ground before mustering speed & improving position to race 1,1 from about the 1000m. Was only 2.5L from the lead entering final section but weakened in final furlong to be beaten over 7L.
9 13 TRUST ME (C134) S De Sousa B/H/TT Pushed forward from wide gate before racing three wide without cover just forward of midfield. Was only just over 1L from the lead entering final section but wide passage took its toll & weakened out in final furlong.
