1 2 ROMANTIC CITY (CL023) Z Purton -- Opened up a commanding break in the early stages and never looked like being headed, making every post a winner.
2 3 HOT SHOT (CL289) D Whyte TT Rated worse than midfield, along the fence. Maintained a rail advantage in the home straight and closed off well.
3 12 SPARKLING (CK149) J Lloyd SR-/CP1 Raced near the rear of the field, 2 deep with cover. Made good progressive ground in the run to the wire.
