1 | 2 | GLACIER BLUE (P062) | B Prebble | CP/XB | Settled midfield 3-1/4L behind the leader. 3 wide without cover and travelled nicely rounding the Home Turn. Held off challenge of 2nd to score by a nose. |
2 | 4 | DANEWIN EXPRESS (S234) | N Callan | CP/H/XB/TT | Began awkwardly and slowly away. Settled near the rear 5-1/2L off, 2 wide with cover. Despite the slow tempo, closed off strongly in the Straight, just failed. |
3 | 11 | IMPERIAL GALLANTRY (T028) | D Whyte | H/TT | Began slowly and settled at rear 6-1/4L behind, 3 wide with cover. Finished off nicely a nose behind the 2nd. |
4 | 13 | PLAIN BLUE BANNER (S070) | R Fourie | B | Soon taken across close to the rail from a wide gate. Remained at rear 7-1/2L off, 2 wide with cover. Held up for clear running early in the Straight. Kept on steadily for 4th. |
5 | 6 | MOTIF (T065) | G Mosse | -- | Camped handy from a wide gate 3L behind the leader, 2 wide without cover. Improved rounding the Home Turn but caught passing approaching final 200M. |
