Illawarra Mercury Hcp (C1)
A good return by Dreamforce who lead throughout and battled back strongly in the straight to score a narrow but good victory at his first run for 15 weeks. He will improve for the run and a step up in trip. Deer Mountain ran well in defeat. He settled down in fourth position one out one back. He peeled out three wide on straightening and battled on gamely the whole way to the line to just miss.
