2 | 4 | TEAM WORK (CH276) | T H So | B | Pressed on to occupy the box-seat just behind the pacesetter, attempted to fight for lead early in home straight, could not match the strides of the winner final 150 M but did keep on well for 2nd. |
3 | 9 | PERFECT SPRINT (CL107) | G Mosse | -- | Awkward start, held up in a fence position just behind the midfield, responded well when asked for efforts final 300 M finished off soundly for 3rd. |
4 | 3 | GREAT GUY (CH112) | M Chadwick | TT | Broke fastest, took time to muster and caught 3-wide early, urged along to chase the leader in middle stages, kept battling on in home straight and looks at least for a place, just missed out. |
