| 1 | 10 | POWER COOL (P054) | T H So | -- | Settled worse than midfield, about 4Ls behind the leader on the fence, despite not suited by the very slow tempo, dashed on strongly inside final 100M to score by a neck. |

| 3 | 11 | P J HALL (P216) | C Y Ho | -- | Sent forward to park outside the leader, 600M switched to 3 wide, suited by the very slow pace, kept on well to get 3rd. (Questioned for riding, see incident report) |
