1 11 HORSE OF FORTUNE (T118) K Teetan -- Close up from the start, took over the lead when pace slackened middle stages, kept on determinedly in straight and fended off late challenge of 2nd.
2 1 GOT FLY (T048) D Whyte SR Reserved in midfield along the inside, advanced to 2nd 150M, chased home winner under top weight, just held.
