1 1 VENGEANCE OF RAIN (CD142) A Delpech TT Settled about 5Ls or 6Ls off pace in 7th until the 800 M, improved out 4-wide on circle to be 4Ls down in 5th on straightening, dug in to lead 100 M out, stayed on well.
2 8 BEST GIFT (CD296) M Rodd TT 3-back on fence about 3Ls off the speed in 5th or so until the 800 M, 3Ls down in 3rd when 2-wide entering straight, 1L down in 2nd at 200 M, failed to match winner but still ran on very well.
3 5 SATURN (CD154) R Fradd H Pressed on to lead at 2000 M, never clear by more than 2Ls, tended to over-race in places, headed by winner 100 M out, no extra and lost 2nd soon after.
