2 6 HOWDEEPISYOURLOVE (H093) K Teetan -- Settled ahead of midfield, responded well turning for home, came close to score his 5th win was just denied at the line.
3 12 HARMONY AND RICH (D110) L Hewitson B From draw 1 moved forward to be vying for lead along the inside, drifted out on straightening, kept on well to line but couldn't hold off first 2 late.

10 7 PACKING TREADMILL (G161) H Bowman SR Dropped back to race at the rear, failed to quicken in straight, never a factor. (Jockey : did not travel well at any stage with the genuine pace, raced in a disappointing manner.)
