| 3 | 8 | MAGNIFIER (CA139) | E Saint-Martin | B | 3-wide without for cover for much of backstretch, 9Ls off pace in 11th at 800 M, similarly placed on straightening, ran on very strongly final 400 M for a place. |
| 4 | 9 | GREAT DELIGHT (CC291) | B Prebble | B | Keen early, 2-wide and 2Ls off speed in 4th at 1200 M, over 3Ls back in 4th at 800 M and entering home straight, over 1L down in 6th at 200 M, kept on well but lost a place close home. |
