2 12 MY LITTLE FRIEND (S010) J Moreira B1/TT Began fairly, restrained, dropping to rear, and taken closer to outer fence. Made ground from 500m, taken in 280m and unable to get run till 150m. Finished strongly.

8 7 VICTORIUS (N423) K Teetan B Began fairly, no speed, settling 7L from leader along outer fence. Picked up momentum from 400m and travelled well but no clear running final stages and not ridden out. Lame right fore.
