2 | 4 | ROMANCING TAMAR (CK176) | W C Marwing | TT | Began well but was caught wide. Taken to race 4-wide at midfield until home straight. Fought on determinedly to make up substantial ground from the tiring winner. Just denied at post. |

4 | 2 | PACIFIC ALLIANCE (CC230) | O Doleuze | V | 2-wide behind midfield until home turn. Peeled out gradually and was 5Ls down turning home. Progressed steadily to the line to make frame without threatening the front trio. |
