2 | 8 | PERFECT TEN (CL030) | Y T Cheng | B1 | Shaken after start and took lead on fence at 1300 M. Held the rail and shared the lead 900 M out. Fended off all pursuers but the winner closing stages. |
3 | 1 | FUJIAN PRINCE (CE006) | W Buick | XB-/SR2/TT | Last out and rolled towards the fence. Trailed 8Ls down through to the home straight. Made up many lengths down the centre of the track to snatch 3rd. (Lame right front leg). |
