8 | 6 | THUNDER STOMP (V279) | U Rispoli | -- | In 5th spot ahead of midfield, wide no cover for most part, kept on same pace in straight and never a real danger to leaders. |

13 | 14 | FORTUNE PATROL (A245) | K C Ng | B/TT | Dropped back to be near last 8L off the pace, didn't run on entering straight, never a factor. |
