1 | 9 | BOLD WIN (CE282) | E Saint-Martin | B | Travelled in 5th just better than midfield. Quickened well to hit front passing 200 M and fought on well to defy runner-up's strong late burst of speed. |

3 | 10 | GALLANT KNIGHT (CC189) | M W Leung | V/TT | Always well there. Unable to quicken to threaten inside final 200 M and only kept on steadily to the line. |
4 | 3 | WELL NOTED (CG313) | F Coetzee | -- | Attempted to make all. Only overhauled inside final 200 M. |
