after the first quarter quarterJessica Jessica after following Polly Pokers pace to the last eighth was able to wear down the early leader in the later racing and win by a neck Polly Poker began tiring badly after reaching the last eighth Junie which finished third was probably best as she finished fastest of all after bolting far out in the track at the stretch turn turnRacing Racing into
