Shane Crawley
Settled in third early - lost ground to last around midrace - hampered slightly at the 7th - driven on before 3 out but unable to threaten leaders - stayed on for third up the run-in

Sat handy in 2nd - hit the front briefly with a couple of untidy jumps - lost the advantage and slipped back to 3rd after three out - found nothing more and finished well held
