2 | 7 | FLYING GENERAL (CB236) | W C Marwing | SR | Settled in 5th place on fence about 4Ls or 5Ls off pace through to home straight, 3Ls down in 4th spot turning for home, 2Ls down in 2nd place 200 M out, kept on strongly, just failed. |
3 | 4 | LOYAL DEVOTION (BV075) | G Schofield | -- | In midfield 6Ls off the speed down the back, still 5Ls down off home turn and 200 M out, kept on to nick 3rd place on the line. |
