2nd 1,50 Fools Gold (Wright/Hill S 57kg draw 1) Fair pace, strode out well but couldn’t match older horse when asked for an effort at the 200m mark. 59.56 seconds
3rd 1,60 World Cruise (Ferraris/Robinson MR41 A 60kg draw 8) Held together until 200m mark and then quickened well. As a big, immature sort would likely have benefited from a rest and cold improve on his poor maiden form. 59.58 seconds

6th 3,30 Angel Bouquet (Brown/Govender A 56kg draw 2) Jumped left but thereafter displayed a fair action without being asked a lot, will improve. 59.81 seconds
7th 7,30 Isikhwami Sami (Moodley/Robinson A 58kg draw 7) Hampered, showed a rangy action and stayed on. 60.36 seconds
