2 4 KING PRAWN SUPREME (CJ076) F Coetzee B Began well in middle draw and looking to cross to rails. Disputed lead outside leader around home bend and hit front inside 300 M only to be caught final strides.
3 11 HONEST TREASURE (CE200) W M Lai B/TT Began moderately. Soon picked up along rails to race 1-back in 3rd. Still in box-seat turning in. Obtained a clear passage passing 200 M and closed off race nicely.
