1 10 ZEBROWSKI (E382) M F Poon TT Stumbled at start but soon came to join the leaders, taken 2L back to 3rd 1200 metres out, drifted out early in straight but fought on dourly to just get up on line.
2 7 BUTTERFIELD (C462) V Borges TT Settled in rear of midfield just over 5L off the pace, 5-wide into home straight, shaken up upon straightening, quickened under pressure to hit the front over 100 metres out only to be pipped close to home.
