ABIT SASSY

Very unlucky finishing fifth after becoming awkwardly placed and blocked for a run until the final stages. One to watch out for through the holiday season.

POW TONG

From well back he was unable to find galloping room all the way up the straight, crossing the line hard held just over a length away in fifth place.

CELTIC ECHO

Another good honest run and not the luckiest either having to go around them. Deserves a win any time soon.

MATAKANA GIRL

Needed time to find her feet and then had trouble clearing traffic. Final stages were very good, will appreciate the step up to 1600m.
