| Jumped only fairly, settled down behind midfield, little change in position to the straight, didn't find much when asked, disappointed for clear running 200M but already out of contention. | |||||||
| 11 | CALIFORNIA TOUCH (2) | M Chadwick | 3 | 133 | 1298 | Leader | 5.3 |
| Vied for early lead before emerging as leader 700M, under siege 300M, soon gave ground and weakened to last. (Trainer: not suited by a rival being positioned to its outside throughout the early and middle stages.) | |||||||
