1 | 14 | KIWI STAR (BP132) | W C Marwing | B | Jumped awkwardly. Settled towards rear. Gained good ground on inside to be better than midfield turning in. Responded well final 250 M to hit front 150 M out. Hung on well to fend off runner-up's late challenge. |
2 | 5 | DON SEBASTIAN (BS297) | B Marcus | -- | Slowly away. Settled in rear. Switched to extreme outside turning for home. Made up good ground final 300 M. Shifted in and failed to gain upper hand closing stages. |

6 | 10 | THE ESTABLISHMENT (BS127) | R Fradd | TT | Settled in midfield. Gained good ground on rails to be 3rd turning in. Disappointed for a run early in straight. Made progress final 300 M but unable to sustain effort closing stages. |
