3 4 SMART HORSE (BV096) R Fradd -- 2-wide and 4Ls off the speed in 7th at 1200 M, 3Ls down at 800 M and entering straight in 7th, staying on reasonably when 2.5Ls 4th at 200 M, couldn't sustain the run through final 200 M.
4 1 FAT CHANCE (CC160) A Delpech B Slowly away, on fence 7Ls off pace in 9th at 1200 M, always niggled along, under strong pressure entering straight when 4-wide and 4Ls down in 7th, still 4Ls down at 200 M, one-paced.
