| 2 | 4 | GOLD STERLING (H032) | A Badel | TT | Raced in midfield along the rail throughout. Had clear running on straightening before closing well to move to second near the 125m, no match for winner but ran ok. |
| 3 | 9 | DIAMOND WINNER (H285) | A Hamelin | H | Got back to race third last along the rail. Shared last place from the 550m, was just under 7L from the lead entering last section before making late headway to steal well beaten third place in final stride. |

| 5 | 10 | JOYFUL CHAMPION (G072) | A Atzeni | TT | Was slow to begin by about 4L before making up ground after the start to race in midfield along the rail. Came away from the rail just before cornering when about 3L from lead before finishing off one paced in the straight. |
