1 4 LET US WIN (V381) S De Sousa PC Settled midfield on fence. Had economical run before shifting away from fence at 500m. Looked flat at 400m but responded under heavy riding in last 200m to pick up leaders and score narrow win.
2 12 EVER LAUGH (A278) U Rispoli B/TT Sent forward before checked at 1400m before positioning three pairs back on the outside. Presented with clear running just after straightening and let down well but was just overhauled in last few strides.

5 8 JIN JIN KING (A329) S Clipperton H Gathered speed in early stages to go forward before settling one pair behind speed on the outside. Came around heals at 550m to improve position but looked off stride in the straight and looked beaten passing 200m.
6 7 ABSOLUCOOL (A328) Z Purton H/P Eased back from wide draw shortly after start to position next to last on the outside of runners. Was well back upon entering the straight and did manage to make up some ground in the straight.
7 6 RED HORSE (V334) C Schofield B Away fairly before mustering early speed and driving up to position leaders back. Looked to be travelling very well prior to straightening and managed to get clear running across heels at 300m but didn't threaten.
