| 4 | 9 | SUPERIOR WARRIOR (CL167) | T H So | B/TT | Went forward and led from the early stages, crossing to the fence near the 800 M. Commenced to tire over the concluding stages but was able to hold on to finish in the frame. |

| 7 | 4 | ALL VICTORY (M107) | M Chadwick | TT1 | Blew the start by lifting its front legs off the ground, losing considerable ground settling behind midfield the fence. Railed up in the straight and made good ground in the home straight. |
