2 | 5 | GREEN MANNER (N425) | M Chadwick | H1/TT1 | Not far off in 4th, loomed behind leader turning in, accelerated to lead near 250M, kept on well but couldn't match strides with winner final stages. |
3 | 13 | SOLDIER (CK346) | C Y Lui | -- | Began awkwardly, driven to take lead from 1200M, set even pace, headed 250M, rallied well to be 3rd not beaten far. |
