2 | 1 | DRAGON ENERGY (S186) | N Rawiller | V | Given reminders in rear early, improving to midfield coming out of back straight, ran on under pressure to be nearest at finish. |
3 | 8 | EASY AHEAD (CK212) | T H So | P | Jumped fairly, niggling along but soon dropped behind midfield, given reminders on rails inside 900m, improved to forward of midfield along rails on home bend, sustained progress down inner of straight, did best work late. |
4 | 5 | COSTA DEL SOL (M111) | N Callan | B/TT | Ridden along to hold 4th spot within 2L of pace, became 3-wide in 6th around home bend, failed to quicken under pressure after straightening. |
