2 1 MALDIVES (D329) Z Purton XB Settled in 5th spot, never far off leaders in a slowly run race, crowded for room top of straight, fought hard final 200M trying to wrestle the lead from winner, just held.
3 4 INVINCIBLE MISSILE (C037) H Bentley TT Slow to begin, shifted across behind runners to race towards the rear, driven near 400M, finished off well to claim 3rd near line but not able to trouble first 2.

6 7 FEARLESS FIRE (B085) M L Yeung XB Chased leaders in a slowly run race, held up briefly passing 300M, lacked the needed response when clear, held ground to the line.
7 5 GIFT OF LIFELINE (C172) L Ferraris B Crowded for room on jumping then taken across behind runners, reserved towards the rear in a slow run race, swung widest home, closed off well but left with too much to do.

9 6 SMILING TIME (E235) A Hamelin CP-/B1/TT Restrained to race behind mid-division 6Ls off the slow pace, switched wide near 450M, kept on without threatening in the run home, always held by leaders.
