1 3 WALKONTHEWILDSIDE (CG033) F Coetzee -- Settled nicely in box seat, benefited by the slow pace, made a run at the 300 M, kept on strongly to win.
2 6 NICE KING (CG147) E Saint-Martin -- Midfield, 3.5Ls behind leaders along the rail, lacked room between 400 M and 200 M, dashed strongly to finish a solid 2nd despite the slow pace.
