2 | 11 | TEAM FORTUNE (T306) | D Whyte | -- | Pushed hard early to set a quick early tempo up front, before easing off the gas at the 800m. Ran solidly in the straight, but couldn't hold off the fast finishing winner in the shadows of the post. |
3 | 5 | DRAGON GENERAL (T400) | C Schofield | B/TT | Went to press forward early and settled 4th/5th, but trapped 4-5 wide with no cover. Battled on solidly in the straight, just nabbing 3rd late. |

6 | 1 | WAH MAY FRIEND (T309) | N Callan | TT | Taken up to be well placed early in 2nd, but stuck 3 wide with no cover. Slightly 1 paced in the straight, and faded late. |
