2 10 ACHILLES OF TROY (CJ190) J Lloyd B/TT Reasonable break, angled into midfield 5Ls off solid tempo, had easy time to home bend, produced a strong close to push winner right to wire.
3 5 VAUGIRARD (CK347) B Prebble B Out in line, camped behind pace group, enjoyed a good trail 3 to 4Ls back, loomed full of running on turning, couldn't fight back inside 200 M but kept on well for a clear 3rd.
