1 12 NEW GLORY (CK304) K Teetan B Attended the pace, crossed to the lead nearing 600M, going well turning into straight, hard pressed 250M, gave everything and just held on.
2 1 SILVER GRECIAN (CL323) O Doleuze H-/XB-/TT Slow to begin, travelled well in a rearward position, driven to chase winner 300M, ran on strongly final 200M and closed in on the leader with every stride, just held.
3 3 BOBO DRAGON (P147) Z Purton B Away well, gained a position just behind leader and eventual winner, loomed a threat 350M, kept on well under urge but unable to make headway on winner, no extra final stages.
