2 4 HELENE WISDOM STAR (D460) Z Purton B/H/TT Switched off to race at the rear, headway passing 500M, ran on along the fence to take 2nd near 100M, no impression on the runaway winner.
3 6 PERFECT TO GREAT (D327) H Bowman SR/TT Jumped fairly, waited with in a rearward spot 6Ls off the pace, driven from 500M, stayed on for non-threatening 3rd.
