8 5 WING MASTER (CK258) D Whyte B/XB/TT Awkward break; better than midfield within 2Ls or 3Ls before before straight; had every chance to at least place; tended to hang under pressure.
9 2 EAST RIDER (CK283) M Chadwick B1/TT Midfield on the rails down the back straight; slightly closer 3Ls off lead turning for home; didn't find much off the bit.
10 11 TELECOM LUCKY STAR (CK025) S K Sit TT 2-wide and 1L back in 2nd at the 1000m; still right there off the last bend; very weak to conclude.
