1 | 12 | AMAZING BEATS (C507) | K Teetan | -- | Settled down in 4th about 4Ls off the good pace, picked up speed gradually on straightening, looked to be held by first 2 at 100M but rallied strongly to prevail in a 4-way photo finish. |
2 | 6 | COLUMBUS COUNTY (C465) | Z Purton | H/XB | Reserved in mid-pack about 5Ls behind leaders in a fast run race, lay in under pressure in straight and proved difficult to ride, fought on strongly final 200M, briefly led close home but was caught last stride. |
