Costa Laquetta (Benalla Monday R2 No.9) from Swan Hill 5/4, we said: ''away okay but either slightly checked or just didn't have any early pace and dropped to near the tail. Niggled at to improve as early as 800m out and got up on the inside to be three back on the fence. Worked clear nearing the turn and started to wind up. Finished the race off strongly to just miss. First-up here and looks on the way up.''
- struck a wet track when beaten second-up and is worth another chance.
