1 | 4 | BANK ON RED (A228) | J Moreira | XB | Jumped well from draw 1, tracked leaders from 1400M, moved up to the lead 250M, pressed by rivals 150M, held on gamely. (Objection from 2nd overruled.) |
2 | 10 | ARCADA (A240) | G van Niekerk | TT | Failed to muster speed, held up keenly in mid-division, peeled out 400M, loomed up to challenge winner mid-straight but unable to reel in rival. (Objection on winner overruled.) |
3 | 5 | FEARLESS FIRE (B085) | Z Purton | -- | Settled down behind midfield, made his move on outer 650M, vied for lead mid-straight, tried hard but held by first 2. |
4 | 6 | STARSHIP (V379) | C Schofield | B | Crowded for room on jumping, ended up behind midfield on settling, kept chasing in the straight but no match for first 3. |
