2 | 6 | CIRCUIT THREE (B360) | M L Yeung | B/TT | Began only fairly, recovered to race behind mid-division on inside, shifted out a number of horses for clear running in straight, closed off well final 200M, just held. |
3 | 13 | SHINING GEM (C058) | H Bentley | B | Tracked leaders along the fence, had no clear run early straight, stayed on well final 300M, not finishing pace of first 2 late stages. |
