2 11 MONARDS (BV267) J Egan B Gradually dropped to the rear from wide draw. Ran on strongly final 200 M to miss narrowly.
3 12 PREMIER TREASURE (BV100) D Whyte B Never far off. Ran on to hit the front 200 M out. Every chance until no extra and overhauled closing stages. (See Racing Incidents.)

12 14 COGITO (BV344) S King -- Jumped awkwardly, at rear. Never in contention.
