2 13 SUNNY KING (CH105) N Callan H Held up near the rear 6Ls off the steady pace, had plenty to do turning in, ran on strongly towards the finish, just failed.
3 3 IRIAN (CL187) B Doyle H/TT Held up in midfield, 3-wide turning for home, ran on well and chased leader from 300M, one paced final stages and lost 2nd close home.
4 9 SPECIAL DAYS (CH236) T Angland B Positioned 2-wide behind mid-division, raced tight and crowded for room between 1200-1000M, into clear 400M and closed off the race well.
