1 | 11 | FLYING HIGH (E204) | M Chadwick | TT | Jumped only fairly, waited with towards the rear along the stand's rail, ran on powerfully passing 300M, produced the fastest 400M finish of the day to nail the leader near line. |
2 | 9 | CHEVAL VALIANT (E336) | Y L Chung | B/H/TT | Sped to the lead and soon crossed to the stand's side, built a clear margin halfway, kept on well under 7lb claimer only to be nailed by winner close home. |
3 | 2 | METRO WARRIOR (D387) | L Hewitson | B | Chased the clear leader, roused along 350M but lacked the needed response, battled on to take a non-threatening 3rd. |
4 | 8 | SEASONS WIT (H223) | Z Purton | B1/TT | Gradually moved forward to be 3rd on settling, waited with until 250M but found less than expected, soon no threat to first 2, just missed 3rd in a photo finish. |
