2 | 8 | MERRY MERRY (BV298) | R Fradd | -- | Soon led. Headed 700 M and maintained 3rd into straight. Kept on well but found the winner too strong. |

6 | 1 | SCENIC WONDER (BT266) | W Woods | -- | Worse than midfield to straight. Hung out badly approaching and rounding the home turn. Made up little ground towards the finish. |
