| 2 | 3 | ELEGANCE KLAMMER (M228) | B Prebble | SR/TT | Given a waiting ride as usual, 10Ls off the pace in the first half, made headway from 600M, swung widest for home, finished off well and came extremely close to land his 4th win but was just denied. |
| 3 | 1 | REAL SUPREME (CL247) | M Chadwick | B/TT | Crossed to the lead passing 1400M, took them along at good pace, kept on nicely up the straight and looked to hold an unassailable lead inside 150M, caught by first two near line. |

| 6 | 5 | LEELI'S STAR (N219) | O Doleuze | SR | Taken back from wide barrier, over 10Ls away in last, crept closer hoe turn and moved to challenge 250M out, stayed on under mainly hands and heels riding. |
