1 | 6 | MR GENKI (CD184) | F Coetzee | TT | Soon 2nd after disputing lead. Steadied at 1000 M as leader shifted to the fence when not clear. Ran on gamely in straight and held on to win comfortably after hitting front 200 M out. |
2 | 3 | SPOKESMAN (CD099) | E Saint-Martin | -- | Towards rear. At least 6Ls back upon straightening. Made up good ground final 300 M to be nearest at finish but simply had too much to do. |
3 | 7 | FIRST KNIGHT (CB357) | O Doleuze | B | Very slowly away. Ridden forward from 1200 M but was still 7 to 8Ls down at 800 M. Saved ground along rail turning in. Shifted ground twice to find running after 300 M and made up good late ground to grab 3rd. |
4 | 14 | MYTHIC STEED (CD208) | C Brown | B/H | Towards rear. Made up good ground final 200 M to just miss a place. |
5 | 13 | DEVON FLAIR (CD240) | A Delpech | V | Pushed forward along rail. 4th or 5th from 1200 M. Steadied off heels at 700 M. Shifted out to find running in straight but got outsprinted for a minor placing final 100 M. |
