1 3 WINNING COUNTER (CA008) J Egan BO Niggled a bit to go forward across field from wide gate. Took lead from 700 M to score an impressive win.
2 8 MERRY MERRY (BV298) R Fradd -- Soon led. Headed 700 M and maintained 3rd into straight. Kept on well but found the winner too strong.
3 4 RARE (BS153) E Legrix B Midfield. Ran on well in straight without threatening the quinella pair.
4 5 STERLING STAR (BT021) D Harrison B/TT Midfield or better. Kept on fairly to hold position in straight without looking likely.
