2 | 7 | CAP FERRAT (K021) | H Bowman | -- | Obtained running in midfield, brought wide 600M to challenge, picked up well and challenged for the lead mid-straight, just couldn't hold off winner final 100M. |
3 | 10 | BUNDLE AWARD (K020) | A Atzeni | E | Taken back from wide draw, held up last 7-8Ls off leader, brought wide into straight before closing off strongly to claim 3rd just in time. |
