2 | 6 | KING OF SCOTS (CK084) | G Cheyne | -- | Took up a midfield spot 4-5Ls back, enjoyed an ideal run throughout, angled wider soon after straightening, charged home final 300m to miss by narrow margin. |
3 | 8 | BEAUTY TOUCH (N001) | M Chadwick | TT | Away in line, in a prominent spot before lead changed and left in midfield on rails, 5ls away in mid section, gradually improved, |
4 | 12 | CARTHAGE (CL256) | W M Lai | SR/TT | No early speed, ended up back with last few, raced 8-9Ls back on rails, angled clear at 400m and produced a strong finish from an impossible spot to make frame. |
5 | 2 | SMART GIANT (CL405) | D Beadman | XB/TT | Worked across from a tricky draw to take ideal spot 1 out 1 back, left first outside leader from 1000m, edged closer on circle, chimed in strongly and kept on before losing place late. |

8 | 3 | OUTDOOR PEGASUS (CL173) | N Callan | TT | Reasonable jump, ended up in 2nd half of field on rails, 6ls away to turn, made steady progress along inside to 200m but just held ground thereafter. |
9 | 9 | CARTOON FAY FAY (N014) | H W Lai | B1 | Bounced out, took a hold to obtain cover, shuffled back on rails, to be 3ls or so back, right there on turning, offered little final 300m. |
