MOON BRIDGE (NW9000) rallied in the final turn, ducked to the open pocket, had aim in the late stages but took a bad step.
MAJOR BATTLE (NW9000M) rallied wide and late but got in the photo. Do not ignore in next.
Monday, April 26
QUEEN Z TAM (NW1FM) tipped, came uncovered, rallied gamely, looked like she was going by but made what looked like a speed break in the last steps.
CAPTAINANDTELLY (NW1FM) was used to the lead and pressed a long way, dug in but was nailed by the tripped-out winner. Beaten favorite can atone with a better trip.
