2 | 4 | BAAZIGAR (CG171) | F Coetzee | B- | With cover in midfield down back straight, unbalanced at 800 M when 6Ls back, quickened up to lead 150 M out, collared by winner final 30 M. |
3 | 13 | PURE ALPHA (CH008) | G Boss | CP/XB | Travelled nicely in box-seat position, cruised to the lead 350 M out but headed again 150 M out and just held a place. |
4 | 9 | EVER KING (CE147) | D Beadman | V/TT | Squeezed out start, 8Ls back in rear down backstretch, closer turning in but then held up until 250 M out, kept on well, unlucky not to place. |

6 | 7 | SUNNY SMILES (CJ073) | Z Purton | B | 2-wide in 5th or so down backstretch, dangerous when 4-wide and just over 1L back turning for home and upsides at 200 M, tired thereafter. |
