Japanese representative Kluger had a good trip in fifth place on the rails, improved well along the inner at the home turn, went to second at the 200m and then fought strongly for a very good second.
Hartnell settled well in third place on the rails. He moved up well to challenge at the home turn and then battled on in honest fashion for third.
