| 4 | 3 | ABLE ONE (CG108) | Z Purton | -- | Well enough away, took a spot 5Ls away behind speed in 2 wide line, had a fair trip throughout, tracked eventual winner on turning, closed evenly but run ended inside 100 M. |
| 5 | 1 | ARMADA (CE246) | D Whyte | -- | Allowed to drift back and settle a clear last, suited by solid tempo racing 12Ls off speed, set huge task when last on turning, made remarkable progress final 300 M to be nearest on line. |
