2 6 MARVEL PLUS (CL281) A Suborics V/TT Broke awkwardly losing ground, settled in last few, took closer order along rails rounding home bend, continued to make ground down straight, unable to sustain effort inside final 200 M. (Blood in trachea.)
3 5 THINK BIG (CK295) K C Ng H/SR/TT Contested lead far side, given reminders before eventually taking over 600 M out but soon steadied pace and remained one off the rails outside 2nd, tiring when headed under pressure 200 M out. (Jockey reprimanded.)
