2 | 9 | YICHUN BLITZ (C026) | C Schofield | B/XB | Showed speed to position at leaders flanks in the first section. Moved up to take lead at the 375m, raced a length clear inside the last furlong before being joined and past quickly by winner inside the final 75m. |
3 | 10 | CALLING THE SHOTS (B239) | A Domeyer | B2/TT | Began well & raced in midfield but was left racing wide and without cover. Within two lengths of the lead on cornering and continued to make good headway before being passed quickly by winner inside the last 150m. |
4 | 12 | SUPREME PLUS (C252) | U Rispoli | XB1/TT | Shifted across from wide barrier before racing worse than midfield, 5L from the lead after the first section. Raced wide with cover around the home turn before balancing 3.5L from lead. Made some ground in run to the line. |

8 | 1 | PRINCE OF GEMS (C031) | Z Purton | -- | Began only fairly before making up ground to race just behind leaders after 300m. Came under pressure soon after straightening and gave ground over the final 300m. (May not have appreciated racing between runners – rider). |
