6 | 3 | MR BOND (M098) | W C Marwing | -- | Restrained from a tricky gate, back last for most part 7Ls or so away, helped by strong speed, came wider in stretch and made some ground from well back despite being awkwardly placed at the 200m. |
7 | 12 | EMPEROR CLAUDIUS (M128) | M Du Plessis | P/XB | Fair getaway, raced prominently then left to cart field up racing 2 wide behind pace pair, gradually worked into it on circle, brief place chance from bend but just stuck on at same speed in straight. |
