| 7 | 4 | BRILLIANT CHARIOT (CL242) | O Doleuze | B/TT | A little slow to move, taken back from wide draw before slotting closer to fence back stretch. Made up some ground around turn to be closest at 400m before turning one-paced. |
| 8 | 1 | FORTUNE BRAVO (N054) | A Suborics | B/H | Hard ridden from start but unable to muster speed and caught wide 3.5L from lead. Kept wide around turn and into straight, became unbalanced 250m when only one-paced. |
