| 4 | 9 | THE PIONEER (CC110) | W M Lai | B/SR/TT | Soon led, never clear by much more than 1L from 1400 M to home straight, went 2Ls clear at 200 M out, all out when headed 50 M out, faded. |

| 11 | 1 | PERFETTO (CB423) | S Dye | -- | 10Ls off pace on fence when one from rear at 1200 M, 5Ls behind on fence in 12th off home turn, always looked held but hadn't much room at the 200 M, no threat close home. |
