2 4 SUCCESSFUL SPIRIT (BV226) F Coetzee B/TT Always raced 2-wide about 1L off winner before taking it up 400 M out, still 1L clear 200 M out but soon grabbed by winner about 150 M out, no extra.
3 11 ALWAYS ZIETEN (CB090) M Cahill -- About 3Ls or 4Ls off pace on fence from 1300 M out to home straight, just about 3rd about 2-1/2Ls off pace 200 M out, just held on in blanket finish for 3rd.
4 3 FRENCH CONNECTION (CA384) G Mosse -- Raced 2 and 3-wide about 4Ls off speed through to stretch, about 3Ls down 200 M out, nicked 4th place in bob of heads.

6 6 QUICK STEP (CA074) D Whyte -- Raced 2-wide and 5Ls off pace until 800 M out when hampered a couple of times, short of running about 350 M out, every chance of running a place 200 M out but was one-paced to line.
