1 | 4 | EVERYONE'S DELIGHT (D029) | Z Purton | CP1 | Obtained good position in midfield between runners. Under 2L from lead entering last section, held up between runners, unbalanced & bumped when getting clear before rocketing home final 100m to snare lead final strides. |
2 | 5 | HARD PROMISE (A373) | C L Chau | CP-/TT2 | Ridden forward, assumed lead after 100m before crossing to rail soon after. Travelled well when enjoying slow sections in middle stages. Continued to hold narrow lead until being caught by winner in final two strides. |
3 | 2 | LUCKY QUALITY (D050) | C Schofield | -- | Got good run on leaders back throughout early & middle stages. Obtained running along the rail inside the leader & continued to finish off steadily in late stages to hold narrowly beaten third. |

5 | 1 | FEARLESS FIRE (B085) | B Shinn | B | Not fast away before settling in midfield, two pairs back on rail. Entered last section 2.5L from lead, shifted away from inside near the 300m before finishing only fairly to midfield in late stages. |
