| 10 | 56.5kg | - | 1-24.96 | 800m: 9th 400m: 9th | Approaching the 1200 metres shifted across heels and had to be restrained. Raced greenly when placed under pressure in the home straight and near the 300 metres bumped BEFORE AND AFTER. | $3.40 | ||
| 5 | 59.0kg | 2.30 | 800m: 5th 400m: 3rd | - | $2.90 | |||
| 9 | 54.0kg | 2.40 | 800m: 10th 400m: 10th | - | $20 | |||
| 4 | 57.0kg | 4.20 | 800m: 8th 400m: 8th | Slow to begin. Hung in under pressure in the home straight. | $26 | |||
| 11 | 54.5kg | 4.50 | 800m: 11th 400m: 11th | - | $31 | |||

| 8 | 55.5kg | 14.50 | 800m: 7th 400m: 7th | Raced three wide without cover for the majority of the event. Approaching the 300 metres, whilst weakening, had to be steadied when racing tight between CLAIRVUE JET and LEAVE ME ALONG. Rider S Thornton reported that racing wide throughout the event had a detrimental effect on the finishing effort of WEWANDA and also recommended that connections consider adding blinkers. | $3.90 | |||
