8 | 4 | STORM WARNINGS (D369) | L Ferraris | B-/TT- | Crowded for room at the start, shifted across runners for cover and raced in detached last, responded fairly in the run home and passed tiring rivals only. Never a threat. |

11 | 12 | SERGEANT PEPPER (E432) | J Moreira | CP- | Hard driven to find the lead, vied with rival on outside, came under pressure near 400M, raced tight 250M, soon beaten and steadily retreated. |
12 | 3 | JOYFUL WIN (D451) | M Chadwick | B | Unable to lead from draw 12, caught racing wide no cover in midfield, gave ground on straightening. (Jockey: raced flat, its last run may have taken more out of the horse.) |
