2 | 14 | ALLEGRESSE (BK189) | C K Chung | -- | Ridden in midfield early, improving steadily to prominent position home bend. Failed to quicken under pressure in straight but kept on well to line to retain 2nd. |
3 | 3 | ORIENTAL SOVEREIGN (BH165) | G Childs | -- | Well there until checked approaching 1000 M, losing considerable ground. Soon renewed effort from 11th round home bend and reached 9th entering straight. Continued to run on to be nearest at finish. (Finished lame.) |
