2 1 HAPPY INDEX (L152) Z Purton -- Jumped on terms, chased leader in 2nd, quickened up well under top weight to lead mid-straight, just couldn't hold off winner final 100M.

7 4 THE UNIQUE STAR (L122) K Teetan -- From wide draw taken across to race in the 3rd spot, found less than expected when placed under pressure 400M, never picked up pace to challenge and just keeping on same speed final 200M.
