| 2 | 2 | TALISMANIC (B816) | M Guyon | -- | Jumped well, rolled forward to grab box seat on settling 3L from leader. Not asked for effort until 600m when came off fence to challenge. Looked chance when drew level 150m before winner kicked. |
| 3 | 8 | TOSEN BASIL (B822) | J Moreira | -- | Taken in for cover soon after start, settling one-out in midfield. Shaken up turning for home, swung wide into straight, finished off nicely after a couple of reminders. |
