2 5 CAPTAIN HAPPY (CE015) F Coetzee TT Began well and pushed along to take lead on rail with around 1/2L advantage through to straight. All out 250 M and responded well but was unable to fend off challenge from winner inside final 100 M.
3 2 GALLANT KNIGHT (CC189) G Schofield V Broke fairly and soon settled in midfield or better 2-wide through to straight. Near the 250 M steadied and shifted out to avoid heels. All out 200 M out and made steady ground to grab 3rd on the line.
