Settled in midfield along the inside, no clear run early straight, severely hampered 350M, ran on soundly when a gap opened up 250M, got up for 2nd near line.

Reserved near the rear, 4Ls off leader going into 400M, switched wide and closed off the race steadily without getting to the winner.

Settled 3-wide about 2-3Ls behind leader, hampered 400M when brushed by winner, soon regained momentum to chase leaders, run ended 200M and flattened out in the final stages.

Chased leading pair in a 3-wide position without cover, failed to muster a closing response passing 400M, ran on empty final 150M.
