1 | 3 | MAGIC TOUCH (CB394) | H W Lai | P2 | Began evenly, settled in midfield running line 3Ls back, not asked in mid-section, eased into clear 2Ls back turning, ascended down middle to hit lead at 200 M and hold them comfortably. |
2 | 6 | HAPPY HEROES (CD261) | Z Purton | PC2 | Away OK but soon drifted back towards rear, 5Ls off pace, had an easy time throughout, still well back to bend, switched out and made good ground down centre but couldn't track down winner. |

4 | 1 | DASH (CG236) | G Mosse | B | Amongst first to jump, pressed on outside leader but elected for a trail 1 x 1 entering back straight, had a cosy trip thereafter, didn't quicken when gap presented turning and just plugged away evenly. |
5 | 9 | KING OF SPADES (CC056) | W M Lai | B | Standard break, assumed usual role well off pace, raced behind midfield 4Ls back in turning line, switched 3 wide tracking winner into straight, lacked pick up but did best work late to be nearest on line. |
