2 2 FLAGSHIP SHINE (P104) N Callan CP Chased leaders, challenged down the inside passing 300M, slightly unbalanced when brushed 200M, came through to lead 100M out but winner fought back and prevailed in a photo finish. (Objection overruled.)

4 13 LUCKY WARRIOR (M292) T H So XB/TT Poised in a 3-wide position not far off leaders, kept on steadily final 400M under pressure but not a serious threat to first two.

6 1 MENTOR (N017) D Whyte B Up with early pace, tracked leaders 2-wide entering home turn, had every hope passing 400M but not going the pace to seriously challenge.
7 7 PSYCHOLOGIST (N390) T Queally -- Dropped back to the rear, 6Ls back in a difficult position turning in, badly held up early straight and again near 150M, ran on well when shifted out to clear final stages.

11 3 SUPER CAGA (CK054) T Clark B Unable to slot in from draw 14, caught 4-wide in midfield and no cover throughout, not quickened passing 400M.
12 8 DYNAMIC VOYAGE (P066) Y T Cheng B/XB Restrained behind midfield, difficult to settle passing 800M, 4-wide turning for home, found little when pressed on.
13 10 HOXO (P131) R Fourie TT1 Held up in mid-pack 3-wide, gave limited response passing 400M, never threatened. (Lame next day.)
