2 11 BRILLIANT TREASURE (CH045) F Coetzee -- Settled behind midfield from a wide draw. Commenced move upon straightening. Ran home nicely to hold every chance but pipped at post.
3 2 HELENE ELITE (CJ093) K L Chui CP/XB/TT Settled on rails in midfield about 3Ls off the pace. Switched off rails for a run upon straightening but could only produce moderate progress while hanging out away from the whip to reach 3rd late.
