6 | 5 | THISTLEJADE (CA161) | S Dye | -- | Checked about 1600 M out, raced 2-wide 6Ls off pace until 700 M out when disappointed for running, 8Ls down entering straight, stayed on fairly well to be nearest at finish. (See Racing Incidents.) |
7 | 7 | ALL WIN (BT106) | C Williams | B-/P2/TT | Inconvenienced 1600 M out, raced 3-wide 8Ls off pace 1200 M, about 6Ls of 7Ls off pace and short of room off home turn, made some moderate late headway through beaten rivals. |

11 | 6 | LUCKY DICE (CB101) | D Dunn | SR | Enjoyed soft run 2Ls or 3Ls off pace on fence through to 600 M when pulled 2-wide to challenge, found little off bridle and swamped over 200 M out. |
