2 1 PERFECT CHEERS (M341) C Y Ho B/TT Began well, steadied to a midfield position making the first turn, moved sweetly into contention 450M, led early straight, not pace of winner final 150M but kept on well under pressure.
3 7 CHAMPAGNE DAYS (CL024) W C Marwing H- Restrained to a position behind midfield, raced keenly, switched wide 500M, closed off well early straight and looked a chance at 200M, readily held by first two final stages.
