Went forward from wide barrier, restrained to track leader making the home turn, accelerated to lead near 200M, kicked clear for a comfortable victory.

Saved ground on the inside and always had the leaders in sight, kept on steadily to go 2nd near 50M but not a serious threat to winner.

Not the fastest away but moved up to take lead under gentle urging, all out inside 300M but unable to repel winner 200M out, kept plugging away to line, lost 2nd close home.

Unable to get closer to rails, caught in mid-division 3 wide without cover throughout, kept on steadily but never able to challenge winner.

Dropped back, waited with in the rear, made steady headway 350M out, short of room near line but probably made no difference to the placing.

Fractious in the barriers, reared and lost ground, recovered to race behind midfield, ran on well first half of straight, weakened and shifted in final 150M. (To stalls test.)

Gradually taken back for cover, settled on the outside of rear pair, looked beaten when outpaced early straight but picked up well final 250M for a strong late finish.

Not hurried early stages, severely checked near 900M, 3rd last turning home, stayed on fairly final 300M.

Up with early pace, restrained to midfield position halfway, kept on same pace under pressure, hampered near line.

Sped to early lead, sat behind leaders passing 850M, kept on same pace turning home, no extra and weakened badly final 100M.

Settled in a 3-wide position behind midfield, covered more ground than others making the turn, not quickened passing 400M, beaten mid-straight.

Began very awkwardly and lost ground, rushed along to get back to the field, outpaced turning home, soon out of contention.
