7. SNOWDROP (5th/6)First up and first time in as a 3 year old. Jumped out wide and was in a mood pulling her head off. She dropped back 3 lengths from the field. The young jock did a good job getting her to settle and tailing off the field into the straight. She hugged the rail and made nice ground under riding. Around the 150m mark jock hard to stop riding when the third placed horsed started to roll in. Yet to win but with luck will win soon.

2. EXCELTIC (4th/12)Came into this with not the best 2nd up stats and carrying 60.5kg. Jumped with the field nut they had too much early speed. He settled back 3rd last on the rail with the field strung out. On the turn he peeled wide and showed a nice turn of foot up the centre of the straight charging to the line for fourth. Huge run under the weight.
R6 2000m bm78
14. ONEMORE SAPPHIRE (3rd/15)Dropped out the back after jumping from barrier 13, settling 4th last. Had a wall of horses infront of him on straightening. He got around their heels and followed the eventual winner up the middle of the straight. Flew home just finishing shy of a length from the winner. Another 50 metres he wins. Massive run.
R7. 1400m 3yo and up
2. GAULOIS (2nd/10)Jumped with the field and settled midfield. Found himself in trouble in the straight and could not get around the field. Was running on when an opening appeared and took it, which was closing quickly and hit the line full of running. Gave away 4.5kg to the winner. Gutsy effort. Should be hard to beat next start when 3rd up.
