1 12 SPARKLING (CK149) D Whyte -- Settled in last few, commenced move turning in, ran on quite well down the centre of the straight to assert authority closing stages.
2 8 ICE FIRE (CJ272) T Clark H/SR/XB Settled in last few, finished off race nicely inside final 200 M, did best work late.

5 10 PRECISION MAGIC (CJ262) W M Lai B/TT1 Settled in rear of midfield, similar turning into straight when not much room early on, kept on steadily down inner to be nearest at finish.
6 4 M'S MAGIC (M079) Z Purton B/TT Ridden for pace early, chased fast-paced leaders in 3rd down far side, shared pace momentarily on straightening when pacesetters folded up on straightening, swamped inside final 200 M.
