| 1 | 5 | SOUTH STAR (K153) | Z Purton | H1/TT | From draw 1 settled down nicely behind first four in a race run in good tempo, quickened up impressively on straightening, led near 200M and kicked clear for a comfortable victory. |
| 2 | 4 | A AMERIC TE SPECSO (H037) | A Atzeni | B | From wide draw taken across behind runners, reserved in last 8Ls off the good pace, swung wide into straight, closed off fastest to claim 2nd close home. Nearest finish. |
| 3 | 9 | IVY LEAGUE (H116) | R Kingscote | SR/TT | Jumped only fairly, chased leaders 2-wide, kept going well turning home, no match for winner's acceleration, went 2nd briefly near 150M but couldn't hold off runner up late stages. |
