- Recommended lay
- 5.60
- Winner
- Inappropriate
- Horse result

What we learned / things to watch
Inside Story, Wish This and Arrange all finished second, so those were the main reminders that a lay win can still involve a close finish.
The three losing selections all produced a sustained late effort. Extra attention to runners likely to race prominently or finish strongly remains the practical lesson from the day.
