4 | 13 | UNIVERSAL PRINCE (CB631) | J Sheehan | B | Always 3-wide and about 3Ls off pace in midfield just outside runner-up AGNES DIGITAL until straight, 1/2L off pace and challenging strongly 200 M out, not find any extra. |
5 | 4 | GRANDERA (CB628) | L Dettori | V | Not break well and raced keenly out 3-wide about 2 to 3Ls off pace until home straight when 4-wide, led 350 M out but grabbed by principals just over 200 M out, kept on evenly to line. (See Racing Incidents.) |
