Greg Eurell-trained four-year-old Ma Deuce scored a good debut win. He showed pace but was caught three wide (without cover) in third place. He raced a bit greenly and was under pressure on straightening, but responded and hit the front at the 100m and appeared to win with something in hand. Three-year-old colt Chen Bay settled in second last place in the nine-horse field and remained there to the home turn. He switched wider and into clear running at the 150m and did well running on for a good second on debut.
