| 10 | 847980 | Ocean Of Tears | 10 | Ft | Kimberly Butt | Form has faded since autumn. Needs to step away on terms. First4 fringes. | |
| 11 | 8PP0X0 | Sargent Henry | 11 | Ft | Wilson House(J) | Didn't fire up from the unruly mobile mark 26 Jun. Requires shortcuts here. | |
| 12 | 795532 | Country Gold | 12 | Ft | Tim Williams | Did plenty of work here 21 Jun & lost few fans. May work into this too. Chance. | |
