2 | 1 | CAPTAIN WIN (E466) | Z Purton | -- | Always in touch behind leaders in a steadily run race, travelled smoothly into straight, ridden out 350M, hit the line well and only just missed in a 3-way photo. |
3 | 9 | INFINITE POWER (D014) | M F Poon | CP | Led from 1200M, had uncontested lead, set steady pace to straight, fought on well under pressure, caught by first 2 last stride. |
4 | 3 | MR ASCENDENCY (G227) | H Bentley | -- | Reserved behind midfield, 5Ls to make up turning in, held up briefly top of straight then closed off well to be nearest finish. |
