2 6 JOYFUL WINNER II (M094) D Beadman TT Settled in midfield 4-5Ls off the pace, out into clear nearing 300M, ran on well final 200M but not pace of winner.
3 4 ARION OF CHIU TON (CK136) W C Marwing SR/TT Travelled behind midfield, turned 3-wide over the home turn, stayed on for 3rd but made little impression on the winner.

9 9 OPEN SESAME (CL091) G Mosse TT Restrained after the start but over-raced from 1300M, allowed to stride forward but remained 3-wide without cover throughout, not quickened under pressure and gave ground passing 300M. (Blood in trachea.)
