OUTBACK PRIDE - held up for clear running rounding the home turn.

FIERY GIRL – laid in for the majority of the race.

BELWINA – the jockey reported after racing wide throughout, the mare weakened over the concluding stages, and as the horse was second up from a spell, in his opinion, it would derive a fitness benefit from tonight’s event.

TISANI BOY – slow to begin. Raced wide for the majority of the race.
