2 2 MASTER GIGOLO (CC375) M Rodd TT Settled in 3rd or 4th out 2-wide within 2Ls or 3Ls of the speed until home turn, every chance at the 200 M when upsides, winner a shade too strong on the run-in.
3 7 JOLLY GOOD FORTUNE (CD274) S Dye -- Led on fence 1400 M out, always about 1L clear until home straight, headed 200 M out, tired close home but hung on for a place.

5 9 LUCKY CHAMPION (CD178) H W Lai CP1 Steadied at 1200 M, always worse than midfield about 5Ls or 6Ls off pace until home straight, made some minor late headway.

11 10 LUCKY HANDS (CD159) G Schofield V Slowly away, checked in rear at 1200 M, 7Ls back in 12th at 800 M, never a factor. (Blood in trachea.)
