11 14 WIND KNIGHT (CJ326) K W Leung -- Jumped well from gate 14 but soon taken to the rear, travelled 7-8Ls behind the speed, on heels at 400 M and 250 M, failed to make up any ground after the interference.
12 1 CONFUCIUS FORTUNE (CL225) O Doleuze -- Eased back from gate 11 and travelled about 6Ls off the pace, moved bit closer rounding bend, was blocked in the home straight, never tested.
