1 2 RAGING BLITZKRIEG (B147) J Moreira H Held up midfield early stages, moved up to challenge passing 500M, quickened to lead inside 300M, strode clear mid-night before easing off late, comfortably.
2 11 GOLDIE FLANKER (V161) H T Mo -- Settled 3rd last, 6Ls off the pace 400M, ran on well to go 2nd 150M, no chance with runaway winner.
3 4 SUPER MAN (T213) A Badel B/TT Failed to muster speed, held up towards rear of midfield, stayed on steadily from 400M, no threat to first 2 but well clear from rest.

9 1 TEAM FORTUNE (T306) D Whyte -- From wide draw shifted across to a 3-wide spot in midfield, ran on fairly early straight before short of room from 200M, should have done better than the margin suggested.
