3^rd 0,65 Apple Magic (Ferraris/Tarry A 58kg draw 5) Dwelt, bumped. Has scope and strode out quite well but will likely need further. 60.99 seconds

5^th 0,85 Miss Charlotte (Moodley/Puller A 56kg draw 6) Slow away, squeezed but stayed on well. Has some substance and a nice stride, so should pay her way. 61.02 seconds

6^th 1,10 Sea Scape (Veale/Drier S 57kg draw 3) This Master Of My Fate colt is a half-brother to the like of Balkan, Chantyman and Making Waves. Jumped to the left and was then green and over-racing. Looks to have some natural speed and a fair stride so can improve if settling better. 61.08 seconds

7^th 2,35 Harmonica (Khan/Howells A 59kg draw 9) This Byword gelding is a half-brother to Grade 1-winning sprinter Humidor. Slow away and green before staying on late. Has some substance and showed signs of zip. 61.28 seconds

8^th 3,55 Bell Jar (Jacobs -4 kg/Nel MR65 S 59kg draw 7) Hampered a number of times in the early stages but strode out well enough in the straight. 61.46 seconds

9^th 7,55 Endless Moment (Mgudlwa/Puller A 58kg draw 4) Bumped early and thereafter was green. The penny still has to drop. 62.04 seconds
