4 | 11 | GALLANT RETURN (A308) | M F Poon | -- | Held up in a position ahead of midfield, 4Ls to make up top of straight, stayed on mildly over final 300M, no serious threat to first 3. (Lame RF leg.) |
5 | 9 | MONKEY JEWELLERY (B378) | J Moreira | -- | From draw 12 raced in midfield 3-wide, no cover from 700M, kept on evenly in the straight, never going the pace to challenge leaders. |
