1 10 YUMMY SPIRITS (CK179) J Lloyd CP Settled off the rail in midfield, briefly held up in early straight but came through a gap to hit the lead near 100M, found enough to hold on in late stages without being asked for a maximum effort.
2 5 JACKPOT DELIGHT (CJ101) Z Purton TT Switched off to rear, 7Ls down making the final turn, switched wide approaching the top of the straight, finished off the race strongly and was closing on the winner with every stride.
3 3 YOUNG ELITE (CJ349) B Prebble -- Travelled 3-wide in mid-division, responded well despite being keenly throughout, briefly led inside 150M, fought on but turned flat in late stages.
