2 4 LIGHTNING PEGASUS (T214) N Callan TT Prominent, however raced wide without cover, made an early move to obtain a position closer to the rail 900M, suited by the slow pace, fought on gamely for 2nd.
3 2 AXIOM (P095) J Moreira B Raced midfield, travelled 3Ls behind the leader on the fence, despite the slow tempo, dashed well for 3rd.
4 6 GOLD TALENT (S113) R Fourie TT Camped handy, travelled 2.5Ls behind the leader 2 wide with cover, suited by the slow sectionals, finished off steadily to get 4th.

11 8 OWNERS' GLORY (L391) D Whyte B Raced midfield, travelled 5Ls behind the leader on the fence, not suited by the slow sectionals, weakened soon after straightening.
