2 3 NEVER SAY NEVER (BT028) D Whyte -- In touch to 800 M. Became unbalanced, checked and dropped to midfield at the Rock. Hampered at 500 M. Ran on final 200 M to claim 2nd close home without threatening winner.

11 2 CHARMING SUCCESS (BS124) C M Ho -- Jumped awkwardly, soon 2nd last. Last from 900 M and was never a factor.
