Began well, soon in front sharing the lead under a keen hold, burst away when ridden 350M, shifted out considerably final 200M when well clear of rivals. Very impressive.

Taken across behind runners, patiently ridden in a rearward spot 4-5Ls off the pace, badly held up until 300M, ran on to go 2nd 50M from line but no impression on the runaway winner.

Broke well from draw 1, settled behind midfield along the fence, ran on steadily for 3rd but never a threat to the winner.

Up close tracking leaders, pulled out to challenge final 300M, kept on steadily to finish but unable to keep a straight line when his inside rival kept drifting out.

Vigorously ridden to a forward position, shared lead on outside, kept on but had no answer to winner's sudden burst of acceleration, drifted out and hung on to 2nd until 50M, no extra towards finish.

Began well but soon outpaced by leaders, shuffled back to a rearward position making the turn, bid wide 500M, stayed on for non-threatening 6th.

Raced a shade keen in midfield, angled out 450M, slow to pick up, stayed on well final 200M.

Dropped back to the rear from wide barrier, 7Ls off the pace in middle stages, brought widest 400M, made limited progress.

Began awkwardly, soon driven to a position behind leaders, ran on one-paced inside 400M, weakened 100M.

Held up 2-wide in midfield, ran on fairly and never a serious threat to leaders.

Niggled along to hold a position behind midfield, caught wide throughout, not quickened to challenge inside 400M, never threatened.

Fractious and reared in stalls, chased leaders in a 3-wide position, kept on same pace until no extra inside 200M. (To OBT.)

Eased back, at the rear 7Ls off the pace in middle stages, had nothing to offer turning home, never a factor.

Sent forward, inclined to hang out and unable to cross, 3-wide no cover turning home, outpaced inside 450M, gave ground rapidly.
